What is the troposphere.
The level of the atmosphere
where weather occurs mainly
is in the….
Row 1, Col 1
What is a hurricane.
These winds are driven by warm
moist ocean air that can last
for many day, be many miles
wide, and can bring
huge waves to to the shoreline.
1,2
True you weather forecaster…
There are six convection
currents.
1,3
They blow out from the land over the ocean.
What happens to the convection
currents near the ocean at
night?
1,4
I’m leaving on a jet stream, don’t know when I’ll be
back again
A band of fast winds that
formed by different
temperatures between
convection currents are
called…
2,1
Tornado – head for the basement, assume the position.
A funnel cloud that touches
the ground is called a…
2,2
False, the air pressure decreases….
As you go up into
the troposphere the air
pressure increases.
2,3
Warm, Cold, and Stationary fronts.
Name the three types of fronts
and one characteristic of each
one.
2,4
Climate like a mountain baby, climate to the top.
The precipitation, average
temperatures, and temperature
changes in an area make up
the …
3,1
Stationary means not moving dudes…
This front stays for awhile and
takes on the temperature and
precipitation of this air mass.
3,2
True, clear blue skies come during high pressure
systems, fronts are found in low pressure systems.
Weather fronts usually bring
cloudy skies?
3,3
Warning means it is formed and coming into an area,
take cover morons…..
What is the difference between
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch
And a Warning?

Barometer..
What measure the air pressure?
4,1
What is an anemometer..
How is wind speed measured?
4,2
False, west to east
Winds generally blow from
the east to the west in the
U.S.
4,3
What is precipitation, temperature, wind speed and
direction, clouds, air pressure.
Name at least 3 parts of
the weather system that is
used to make a forecast.

Air mass
When air stays in one are for a
period of time it is called an…
5,1
What is hail or hail stones.
These bounce in the air
and collect ice and they
fall to the ground and
ruin crops.
5,2
True Shawn Cable True…
Climate is the pattern of weather
that is based on a 30 year
period.
5,3
They are usually wider, winds last longer, and big waves
can develop that create a lot of damage.
Why can hurricanes be
more destructive than tornados?
