Forecasting the weather can be rather difficult. Meteorologists gather data from many weather stations, plot the data and then analyze the map to make the forecast. In order to have a more accurate forecast they look at measurements of temperature, humidity, dew point. atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction. If there was a high dew point measurement along with high humidity; what would the forecast likely bring?
tornado
warm air masses
Fair, dry weather
Precipitation like rain
Plants make their own food and are called producers. What do plants need to make their own food?
soil, air, water
soil, sunlight, and water
sunlight fertilizer and water
energy from the sun, air, and water
