  1. Weather Jeopardy

  2. The boundary between two air masses is called… A front. Fronts, 100

  3. What is this the symbol for? Fronts, 200 Cold front

  4. What kind of temperatures might you find behind a warm front? Fronts, 300 Warmer temperatures

  5. Daily Double Weather Joke Udder disaster! What happened to the cow that was lifted into the air by a tornado?? Near what part of the front does weather usually occur? The front of the front Fronts, 400

  6. If all fronts are where air masses meet, how can you tell the difference between a warm front and a cold front? Fronts, 500 The front is named for the moving air. (Cold air moving into warm = cold front)

  7. What direction does a stationary front usually move? Fronts, 600 A stationary front is stationary– it doesn’t move.

  8. The warmest temperatures are found in the warm air mass that lies behind the warm front and ahead of the cold front. Where would you expect the warmest temperatures to occur? Reading a Weather Map, 100

  9. The coolest temperatures are found in the cold air mass that lies behind the cold front. Where would you expect to find the coolest temperatures? Reading a Weather Map, 200

  10. The highest atmospheric pressure is found at the center of a high pressure system, labeled with a capital H on a weather map. Where would you expect to find the highest atmospheric pressure? Reading a Weather Map, 300

  11. Where would you would expect to find the lowest atmospheric pressure ? Reading a Weather Map, 400

  12. Where would you would expect precipitation to occur? Reading a Weather Map, 500

  13. What kind of weather can you expect near the Great Lakes? Rainy Reading a Weather Map, 600

  14. “The water boogies down bringing stormy weather.” Why? Water droplets stick together, become larger and heavier. Eventually, gravity pulls them to Earth. Water Cycle, 100

  15. In the water cycle, what occurs after evaporation? Water Cycle, 200 Condensation

  16. In the atmosphere, dust particles are necessary for what to form? Water Cycle, 300 Clouds

  17. What percentage of the Earth’s water is salt water? Fresh water? Oceans make up about 97% Freshwater makes up about 3% Water Cycle, 400

  18. Why is the ocean salty? As fresh water cycles through the water cycle, fresh water evaporates and leaves minerals behind. Over time, the minerals accumulate and becomes more noticable. Water Cycle, 500

  19. Water reservoirs are used for what? Storing water for later use. Water Cycle, 600

  20. Daily Double Weather Joke You can’t weather a tree, but you can climate! What’s the difference between weather and climate?? What causes wind? Uneven heating of the Earth Wind & Air Pressure, 100

  21. Cold air is more dense so it … Sinks Wind & Air Pressure, 200

  22. Why does warm air expand and rise? It is less dense than cooler air. Wind & Air Pressure, 300

  23. As you move further up, atmospheric pressure … Decreases (there is less air pressing down) Wind & Air Pressure, 400

  24. What has a more stable temperature, ocean or land? Why? The ocean has a more stable temperature because it takes more sun energy to heat. Wind & Air Pressure, 500

  25. During the day, where is the air the warmest? Why?What direction is the wind blowing? Wind & Air Pressure, 600 It is warmest over land because land absorbs heat more quickly than water. The breeze will be moving from the cool ocean to the warmer land.

  26. Name three types of precipitation. Precipitation & Severe Weather, 100 Rain, sleet, snow, hail, …

  27. When water evaporates and becomes water vapor, is it a solid, liquid, or gas? Precipitation & Severe Weather, 200 Gas

  28. Daily Double Weather Joke You have to be careful not to step in a poodle! What happens when it rains cats and dogs?? What happens in the cloud after lightning discharges? Thunder. When a lightning bolt travels from the cloud to the ground it opens up a hole in the air, called a channel. Once the light is gone the air collapses back in and creates a sound wave that we hear as thunder. The reason we see lightning before we hear thunder is because light travels faster than sound! Precipitation & Severe Weather, 300

  29. Collisions of particles in a thundercloud create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges and causes …. Precipitation & Severe Weather, 400 Lightning

  30. This diagram shows the formation of what? A hurricane Precipitation & Severe Weather, 500

  31. In what part of the Unites States are tornadoes most likely to occur? Precipitation & Severe Weather, 600
