Front

Where are hailstorms more common in the US?

Back

Hailstorms are more common in the central part of the US.

Front

What happens to the temperature of air as you move away from Earth's surface higher in the atmosphere?

Back

The temperature of air always decreases.

Front

What is the process called when the air becomes less dense and rises, then cools and sinks?

Back

This process is called convection.

Front

What is the definition of conduction in the context of weather?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials, such as the ground and the air above it.

Front

What is the relationship between air pressure and weather conditions?

Back

Lower air pressure is often associated with cloudier skies and precipitation, while higher air pressure is associated with clearer skies.
