  1. Science: Unit D Weather and Climate Chapter 8

  2. Round 1 Lesson 1: Atmosphere And Air Pressure

  3. Round 1 • The amount of Sun’s energy that reaches Earth at a given time and place. • insolation: It is short for incoming solar radiation.

  4. Round 1 • The blanket of gases that surrounds Earth. • atmosphere

  5. Round 1 • The layer of the atmosphere closest to Earth’s surface. • troposphere

  6. Round 1 • The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it. • air pressure

  7. Round 1 • What the lower atmosphere is like at any given place and time. • weather

  8. Round 1 • A device for measuring air pressure. • barometer

  9. Round 2 Lesson 2: Water Vapor and Humidity.

  10. Round 2 • Water in the form of gas. • water vapor

  11. Round 2 • The amount of water vapor in the air. • humidity

  12. Round 2 • The slow changing of a liquid into a gas. • evaporation

  13. Round 2 • The changing of a gas into a liquid. • condensation

  14. Round 2 • A comparison between how much water vapor is in the air and how much the air could hold at a given temperature if it were full, or saturated. • relative humidity

  15. Round 3 Lesson 3: Clouds and Precipitation

  16. Round 3 • A cloud that forms in a blanketlike layer. • stratus cloud

  17. Round 3 • A puffy cloud that appears to rise up from a flat bottom. • cumulus cloud

  18. Round 3 • A high-altitude cloud with a featherlike shape, made of ice crystals. • cirrus cloud

  19. Round 3 • A cloud that forms at ground level. • fog

  20. Round 3 • Any form of water particles that falls from the atmosphere and reaches the ground. • precipitation

  21. Round 3 • The continuous movement of water between Earth’s surface and the air changing from liquids to gas to liquid. • water cycle

  22. Round 4 Lesson 4: Air Pressure and Wind

  23. Round 4 • Air that moves horizontally. • wind

  24. Round 4 • A circular pattern of air rising, air sinking, and wind. • convection cell

  25. Round 4 • Wind that blows from sea to land • sea breeze

  26. Round 4 • Wind that blows from land to sea. • land breeze

  27. Round 4 • The curving of the path of a moving object caused by Earth’s rotation. • Coriolis effect

  28. Round 4 • A line on a weather map connecting places with equal air pressure. • isobar

  29. Round 4 • A device that indicates wind direction. • weather vane

  30. Round 4 • A device that measures wind speed. • anemometer

  31. Final Score
