One of the elements used to help predict weather includes measuring the amount of water vapor in the air. What does this describe?
wind speed
humidity
air pressure
warm fronts
Why would clouds form when warm and cold air masses collide?
Cold air always brings clouds.
Warm air always brings clouds.
The water vapor in the warm air mass cools when it interacts with the cold air mass.
The water vapor in the cold air mass cools when it interacts with the warm air mass.
Which tool measures humidity or the amount of moisture in the air?
wind vane
barometer
anemometer
hygrometer
a large parcel of air with the same temperature and moisture
moist, cold air
Your parent(s) made you wash his/her car. As you rinsed the soap off of the surface of the car, you watched as it soaked into the ground. Of what part of the water cycle could this be an example?
Condensation
Preciptation
Infiltration
Run-off
In which area would the rate of evaporation be the lowest?
over the ocean
over the mountains
over the rainforest
over the desert
Which statement correctly describes how clouds are formed?
Clouds form when a large block of ice is frozen in the sky.
Clouds form when a solid changes directly to a gas through sublimation.
Clouds form when water vapor condenses in the air.
Clouds form when water vapor evaporates from a lake, river, puddle, or ocean.
The image shows various stages in the water cycle. During which stage does water flow back towards the sea as runoff?
W
X
Y
Z
On Earth, what process generates most of the water vapor?
evaporation
condensation
precipitation
transpiration
What is it called when plants give off water vapor as a waste product?
condensation
evaporation
precipitation
transpiration
Ice and snow on mountaintops can change directly from a solid to water vapor without melting first. This process is called
condensation
sublimation
evaporation

Tanya makes a table with the weather conditions at a body of water for five days. What day did the body of water most likely evaporate the fastest?
Friday
Thursday
Tuesday
Monday
Wyatt takes a bottle of juice out of the
refrigerator. He notices that water begins to form
on the outside of the bottle. Which of the
following explains why the water started to form?
Evaporation occurs on the bottle because the
room is cooler than the bottle.
The bottle is freezing because the room is
cooler the bottle.
The bottle is melting because the room is
warmer than the bottle.
Condensation forms on the bottle because the
room is warmer than the bottle.
At what stage do water droplets begin to form hail?
When they reach the ground
When they are in the lower altitudes of the atmosphere
When they are in the upper altitudes of the atmosphere
When they evaporate
What causes water droplets to freeze and form hail?
High temperatures
Low temperatures
High pressure
Low humidity
What type of cloud does hail form in?
Cumulus
Stratus
Cumulonimbus
Cirrus
What do we know about the temperature of the air at different heights of a cloud?
The temperature throughout the cloud is the same
The temperature gets colder as the altitude increases
The temperature gets colder closer to the surface of the earth
It is impossible to predict
What is humidity?
The amount of gas in the air
The amount of water in the air
The amount of clouds in the air
The amount of cloud seeds in the air
This mid-level puffy cloud is called
Altostratus
Cumulonimbus
Cirrostratus
Altocumulus
What type of cloud is this?
Cumulus
Cirrus
Nimbostratus
Cumulonimbus
What process is this diagram showing?

As altitude increases, the density of the air [increases].
True
stays the same
decreases
is zero
