Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
Weather is ---------
only up in the cloud
a system of interacting parts
the same every day
the same from place to place
What best describes the two types of matter involved in the weather?
cold and hot
wet and dry
air and water
earth and clouds
What best describes the two types of energy involved in the weather?
Light Energy, Thermal Energy
Potential Energy, Electric Energy
Sound Energy, Elastic Energy
Gravitational Energy, Kinetic Energy
Conduction is...
the process by which light energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules.
the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules.
the process by which heat energy is created in a matter made of molecules
The process in which heat is created by the sun
True or False: The Earth's air is mostly heated up because the Sun directly heats air molecules.
True
False
How does the Earth's air warm?
Claim: The earth's air warms because of conduction. Evidence: The light energy from the sun is absorbed into the earth's surface as thermal energy and then heat is conducted into the air. Reason. Conduction is the process of transferring heat.

Claim: The earth's air warms because of the sun. Evidence: The light energy from the sun is absorbed into the air as thermal energy. Reason. The sun is the Earth's energy source.
Claim: The earth's air warms because of the Earth's core. Evidence: The geo-thermic energy from the Earth's core is absorbed into the air as thermal energy. Reason. The Earth's core is the Earth's energy source.
How does air behave regarding temperature?
Hot air rises, cool air sinks
cold air rises, hot air sinks
hot air goes west, cold air goes east
Hot Air moves toward the Equator, Cold Air moves toward the Poles
What causes wind?
Claim: Convection is the cause of wind. Evidence: Cold air rises and hot air rushes along the Earth surface to take its place. Reason: Convection is the circular motion that happens when warmer air (which has faster moving molecules, making it less dense) rises, while the cooler air (which has slower moving molecules, making it more dense) drops down.

Which is the correct model of CONDUCTION in reference to weather?
Define a barometer.
A device used to measure wind speed.
A device used to measure air pressure.
A tool used to estimate the temperature
A tool used to predict cloud status.
Define Air pressure
The physical force on water.
The emotional force on people during storms.
The physical force exerted on or against an object by air.
The cause of the movement of clouds
What is Evaporation?
The process in which water droplets in the sky fall to the ground/ released from a cloud
The process in which liquid water turns into water vapor. This usually happens above bodies of water.
The process that turns water vapor into liquid water in the sky which forms clouds.
When cooler, denser air moves under warmer, less dense air.
What is precipitation?
The process in which liquid water turns into water vapor. This usually happens above bodies of water.
When warm air rises at a front.
The physical force exerted on or against an object by air.
The process in which water droplets in the sky fall to the ground/ released from a cloud
What is condensation?
The process in which liquid water turns into water vapor. This usually happens above bodies of water.
The process in which water droplets in the sky fall to the ground/ released from a cloud
When cooler, denser air moves under warmer, less dense air.
The process that turns water vapor into liquid water in the sky which forms clouds.
What are isobars?
Lines on weather maps that represent patterns of air pressure.
Lines that represent cloud density on weather maps.
Iceical bars made of water and flavoring.
Cool fronts moving at rates of speed shown on weather maps.
What is a front?
When several water particles dop to the ground as one.
When warmer, denser air, moves under cooler, less dense air.
When cooler, denser air moves under warmer, less dense air.
When clouds develop and move at the same time.
Describe a Lift.
When warm air rises at a front.
When cool air rises and becomes more dense.
When cooler, denser air moves under, warmer, less dense air.
When clouds are lifter higher in altitude
If warm air's molcules ae father apart and move faster, are the more, or less dense?
More dense
less dense
Are cold air molcules more or less dense?
More dense
less dense
Isobar maps measure -------, in --------.
