  1. Weather Review

  2. The water cycle needs energy in order to work. This energy comes from: • the earth. • the sun • the clouds. • water.

  3. B. Sun

  4. When water particles absorb energy, move faster, and becomes a vapor, this is called: • evaporation. • condensation. • precipitation. • waterization.

  5. A. Evaporation

  6. 3. Clouds are an example of • a. evaporation. • b. condensation. • c. precipitation. • d. waterization.

  7. B. Condensation

  8. 4. Three things that are needed in order to have weather are: • a. sun, water, air • b. rain, hail, sleet • c. snow, water, ice • d. atmosphere, hydrosphere, rain

  9. A. Sun, Water, Air

  10. . The layer of air that surrounds the earth is the • a. lithosphere. • b. crust. • c. atmosphere. • d. hydrosphere.

  11. C. Atmosphere

  12. . Temperature is measured with a • a.. barometer • b. anemometer. • c. hygrometer. • d. thermometer.

  13. D. Thermometer

  14. Which answer best describes why clouds move? • a. The water cycle causes clouds to evaporate and precipitate. • b. The sun’s uneven heating of the Earth’s surface creates winds. • c. The North and South Poles pull clouds toward them. • d. The clouds migrate to the right climates.

  15. B. The sun’s uneven heating of the Earth’s surface creates winds.

  16. A large “chunk” of air is called • a. a front. • b. a condensation. • c. an air mass. • d. a cloud.

  17. C. an air mass.

  18. The day to day change in atmospheric conditions is called: • a. weather. • b. climate. • c. a cold front. • d. precipitation.

  19. a. weather.

  20. The change in the weather over a long period of time is called: • a. weather. • b. climate. • c. a cold front. • d. precipitation.

  21. b. climate.

  22. A person who studies and predicts weather is a: • a. biologist. • b. paleontologist. • c. meteorologist. • d. astronomer.

  23. c. meteorologist.

  24. Wind speed is measured with: • a. a barometer • b. an anemometer. • c. a hygrometer. • d. a thermometer.

  25. b. an anemometer.

  26. The following is NOT a type of precipitation: • a. rain • b. sleet • c. hail • d. air mass

  27. D. Air Mass

  28. Scientists can predict what Earth’s climate will be far into the future because • a. they study climatic cycles of the past. • b. they have instruments for tracking weather. • c. they are able to study Earth using satellites and radar. • d. they can measure greenhouse gases.
