Intro to Weather

What factors are used to predict day-to-day weather patterns according to the objective 5.E.1.1?

• Wind speed and direction, precipitation, temperature, air pressure

• Soil moisture, sunlight intensity, cloud shape, air pressure

• Ocean currents, phases of the moon, wind speed, humidity

• Temperature, types of clouds, precipitation, moon phases

Which tool is used by scientists to measure wind speed?

• Anemometer

• Barometer

• Thermometer

• Hygrometer

• Thermometer

• Anemometer

Which of the following is NOT an element of weather?

• Soil

• Air Temperature

• Humidity

• Clouds and Fog

What is temperature a measure of?

• How heavy something is

• How warm something is

• How tall something is

• How fast something is

What do meteorologists use to measure temperature?

• Barometers

• Hygrometers

• Thermometers

• Anemometers

When we talk about temperature as a weather condition, what does it indicate?

• How cloudy the sky is

• How much precipitation there is

• How warm the air is

• How strong the wind is

• thermometer-temperature
• rain gauge-rain fall
• barometer-air pressure
• hygrometer-humidity

We use a ​ (a)   to measure the wind direction.

• weather vane
• anemometer
• barometer
• rain gauge
