Multiple Choice

climate is..

• the average measurements of temperature, wind, humidity, snow, and rain in a place over time. Climate is like the weather, but over a long period of time.

• a boundary between two air masses. One mass is cold, the other is warm.

  The air moves together and eventually the cold air replaces the warmer air a.k.a. a cold front.

Multiple Choice

prediction is..

• the average measurements of temperature, wind, humidity, snow, and rain in a place over time. Climate is like the weather, but over a long period of time.

• A claim about what will happen or might happen in the future.

Multiple Choice

a rain gauge is..

• An instrument(tool) used by meteorologists and hydrologists to measure precipitation(rain).

• An instrument(tool) used for measuring or showing temperature (how hot or cold something is).

Multiple Choice

a thermometer is..

• a boundary between two air masses. One mass is cold, the other is warm.

  The air moves together and eventually the cold air replaces the warmer air a.k.a. a cold front.

• An instrument(tool) used for measuring or showing temperature (how hot or cold something is).

Multiple Choice

a warm front is..

• the daily average measurements of temperature, wind, humidity, snow, and rain in a place.

• a leading edge of a warmer air mass that is going into a cooler air mass. Warm fronts usually have stratus and cirrus clouds, but sometimes they have cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds. Before the warm front passes through an area , it may rain or snow.
