Weather Lesson 1-6 Review Game

Air molecules get energy from the surface of the Earth by conduction.

Through convection. The warm air closer to the ground rises, cools off as it gets higher in the atmosphere, then sinks.

The movement of warm, less dense air rising and then sinking as it cools.

The higher up, the colder it is.

Warm, sunny day. The air at the ground is warmer and will rise to create cumulonimbus clouds.

The transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

The transfer of energy through space by electromagnetic waves.

Large, towering clouds associated with thunderstorms and severe weather.

The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth.

The amount of water vapor present in the air.
