The movement of water from Earth's surface into the air and back again is the 

• climate
• water cycle
• evaporation
• precipitation

Water that falls to the ground from the atmosphere is

• precipitation
• weather
• climate
• condensation

The stage of the water cycle where some water seeps into the ground, and other precipitation collects in streams, lakes, and the ocean.

• condensation
• storage
• weather
• evaporate

What the air is like outside is the

• climate
• rain
• storage

The pattern of weather in a place over many years is the

• evaporation

The blanket of air that surrounds the Earth is the

• climate
• water vapor
• atmosphere

What is the difference between weather and climate?

• Weather is what it is like outside now, but climate is the weather pattern over many years.
• They are both the same.
• Weather gives us the pattern over many years.
• C

Three things that affect climate are

• oceans, landforms, altitude
• run off, evaporation, storage
• trees, birds, bears
• barometer, condensation, wind

An anemometer measures wind speed 

• true
• false

A barometer measures air pressure.
