What causes the ground to warm up?
The air above it is hot and makes it warm.
Light from the sun is reflected off it and warms it up.
Light from the sun is absorbed by it and it warms up.
Magma under the crust warms the ground.
Hot air is more dense than cold air.
True
False
Heated air molecules move more quickly than cooled air molecules.
True
False
How does water get into the air?
Water evaporates when it is cooled, causing it to rise.
Water evaporates when it is heated, causing it to rise.
Water isn't in the air.
Magic, of course.
Historically, where are there more severe hailstorms?
Florida
Nebraska
Montana
New York
What causes the air to heat up?
Air absorbs light from the sun and heats up.
Air reflects light from the sun and heats up.
The ground absorbs light, heats up, and warms the air above.
The ground reflects light, heats up and warms the air above.
What is precipitation?
The conversion of a vapor or gas to a liquid.
The conversion of a liquid to a vapor or gas.
Any water falling to the ground: including rain, ice, hail.
In the hail site data, what was the one season where there were no severe hail events?
Summer
Winter
Fall
Spring
Hail comes in different sizes.
El granizo viene en diferentes tamaños.
True
False
Around the time of a hailstorm, the winds slows down.
True
False
Around the time of a hailstorm, the temperature decreases.
True
False
The higher the altitude (or height off of the ground), the air temperature increased.
True
False
Which type of surface should reflect the most light?
A dark surface
A light surface
Which type of surface should absorb the most light?
A dark surface
A light surface
When the pop bottle was placed in the cold water, the soap bubble went inside the bottle because
the air particles were moving faster and got spread out
the air particles started moving slower and got closer together
Putting the balloon on the heating pad caused the balloon to rise because
the heat gave the air particles energy and caused them to move slower and become more dense than the air particles around them
the heat gave the air particles energy and caused them to move faster and become less dense than the air particles around them
When the hail cloud formed, the air moved up and down
True
False
Hail clouds are higher up than many other cloud types.
True
False
Hail Clouds are smaller than other types of clouds
True
False
What is humidity?
the amount of oxygen in the air
the amount of nitrogen in the air
the amount of water vapor in the air
What type of environments should put more humidity in the air? (More than one answer)
Puddles
Snow
Desert
Pebbles
Beach
What happens when water droplets are brought near each other?
They don't mix.
The create a larger droplet.
They bounce off of each other.
When we put a bag of ice over very hot water, what happened?
There were no changes
Only water vapor was made
There was some water vapor that changed into droplets.
When molecules are moving fast, what state of matter are they most likely in?
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Clouds are made of gases and ice crystals or water droplets.
True
False
Clouds don't need a solid surface for ice crystals or droplets to form on.
True
False
Why is our precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, hail) just mostly made of water?
Water is the only thing in our air.
It's too warm in our atmosphere for the other gases to change into other forms.
It's too cold in our atmosphere for other gases to change into other forms.
Clouds will form when there is a COLD low level (ground) temperature.
True
False
To create a large storm you need
low humidity, warm low level (ground) temperature, cold high level temperature
low humidity, warm low level (ground) temperature, warm high level temperature
high humidity, warm low level (ground) temperature, cold high level temperature
