Weather and Climate Vocab

What is air pressure?

• How hot or cold it is
• The amount of water that falls from the sky
• The measure of force with which are molecules push on a surface.
• The amount of water vapor in the air

What is Climate?

• The weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.
• The change of state from a gas to a liquid
• The tool that measures humidity
• The change of state from a liquid to a gas

What is Condensation?

• The change of state from a gas to a liquid.
• The change of state from a liquid to a gas.
•  The amount of water vapor in the air.
• A measure of how hot or cold something is; specifically, a measure of average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

What is evaporation?

• Any form of water that falls to Earth’s surface from the clouds; included rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
• The change of state from a gas to a liquid.
• The change of state from a liquid to a gas.
•  A narrow band of strong winds that blow in the upper troposphere.

What is Humidity?

• The weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.
• Any form of water that falls to Earth’s surface from the clouds; included rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
• The measure of force with which are molecules push on a surface.
• The amount of water vapor in the air.

What is the Jet Stream?

• A narrow band of strong winds that blow in the upper troposphere.
• Strong wind that blow in the Exosphere
• The short-term state of the atmosphere, including temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind and visibility. 
• The measure of force with which are molecules push on a surface.

What is Precipitation?

• The amount of water vapor in the air.
• Any form of water that falls to Earth’s surface from the clouds; included rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
• Water that falls from a water container
• The weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.

What is Temperature?

• A measure of how hot or cold something is; specifically, a measure of average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.
• The state of the atmosphere
• The change of state from liquid to gas
• When it rains, snows, sleets, or hails
