Weather Review

Humidity is the measure of:

• wind speed

• temperature of the air

• air pressure

• the amount of water vapor in the air

Precipitation that falls through a layer of warm air and then a layer of freezing air is called:

• snow

• sleet

• rain

• hail

Cumulonimbus clouds with a strong updraft will likely result in what type of precipitation?

• hail

• rain

• sleet

• snow

What type of weather can be expected on a day with high temperatures and very little wind?

• rain

• hail

• sleet

• snow

Precipitation starts as ice crystals and falls through all cold air is known as:

• sleet

• snow

• rain

• hail

High air pressure systems are associated with which type of weather?

• rainy

• hail storms

• tornadoes

• good (fair) weather

What tool is used to measure humidity?

• compass

• anemometer

• hygrometer

• rain gauge

Precipitation that starts as water droplets and falls through all warm air is known as:

• sleet

• snow

• rain

• hail

As air pressure drops, temperature increases, cloud cover increases, and winds increase, the weather will most likely result in:

• a snow storm

• a drought (a long period of no rain)

• a heat wave

• a thunderstorm

Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with:

• sunny days

• warm temperatures

• cold temperatures

• thunderstorms
