What is weather?

Back

Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in a specific area at a specific time, including temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind.

Front

What are the main types of weather fronts?

Back

The main types of weather fronts are warm front, cold front, and stationary front.

Front

What is a warm front?

Back

A warm front is formed when a warm air mass moves over a cold air mass, leading to gradual temperature increases and often resulting in precipitation.

Front

What is a cold front?

Back

A cold front occurs when a cold air mass moves under a warm air mass, causing the warm air to rise rapidly, often resulting in thunderstorms.

Front

What is a stationary front?

Back

A stationary front is a boundary between two air masses that are not moving, leading to prolonged periods of cloudy and rainy weather.

Front

What is humidity?

Back

Humidity is the amount of water vapor present in the air, which can affect weather conditions.

Front

How does temperature affect humidity?

Back

Warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air, meaning higher temperatures can lead to higher humidity levels.

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

Precipitation is any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, including rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous process by which water evaporates from the Earth's surface, condenses in the atmosphere, and returns as precipitation.

Front

What is a weather map?

Back

A weather map is a visual representation of weather conditions in a specific area, showing information like temperature, precipitation, and weather fronts.
