Weather and Climate Concepts

The video tutorial covers weather instruments and elements affecting weather. It introduces the water cycle, presents a poem about weather, and explains the use of instruments like thermometers, barometers, wind vanes, and anemometers. The lesson also discusses weather elements such as temperature, air pressure, wind, clouds, humidity, and precipitation. Exercises are included to reinforce learning.

What are the three main processes in the water cycle?

• Precipitation, Infiltration, Runoff

• Evaporation, Transpiration, Infiltration

• Condensation, Transpiration, Runoff

• Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation

According to the poem, how can weather be described?

• Always sunny and warm

• Sometimes hot or cold, wet or dry

• Only cold and snowy

• Always rainy and cloudy

What causes wet weather according to the lesson?

• Cloudless skies

• Strong winds

• Precipitation in the form of rain

• High air pressure

What is the role of weather charts?

• To predict earthquakes
