5DD WEEK 23 SCIENCE EVALUATION Weather, Clouds, and Precipitation

State of the atmosphere, including its temperature, wind speed and direction, air pressure, moisture, amount of rain or snow, and other factors.

• weather
• condensation
• circulation
• wind

The movement of air that redistributes heat on Earth.

• circulation
• barometric pressure
• humidity

The amount of water in the air. The particles of water vapor are too small to be visible, but when conditions are right, they can come together to form small water droplets and ice crystals

• circulation
• barometric pressure
• humidity

The pushing force of the atmosphere

• circulation
• air pressure
• humidity

This instrument measures the high and low pressure in the air.

• thermometer
• rain gauge
• barometer

This instrument is used to measure the amount of precipitation that falls.

• thermometer
• rain gauge
• barometer

Any type of water that forms in the Earth's atmosphere and then drops onto the surface of the Earth

• condensation
• precipitation
• ground water
• evaporation

Most clouds are made of:

• Cotton and sugar
• Ice crystals and water droplets
• Meteorites

Weather is affected by

• water temperature
• air temperature
• soil temperature

Wind speed is measured by this instrument.

• barometer
• anemometer
• thermometer
