Wheather

Question 1

barometer

Answer 1

When the barometer shows low air pressure, the weather man knows that bad weather is on its way.

Question 2

barometric pressure

Answer 2

The atmosphere is made up of layers of gases. These layers of gases push down on Earth. This push is called barometric pressure.

Question 3

Cirrus clouds

Answer 3

Some clouds are formed high in the sky and look like feathers. They are called cirrus clouds. Cirrus clouds are white and made up of ice crystals. If you see these clouds in the sky you should expect a change in the weather.

Question 4

Climate

Answer 4

the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.

Question 5

Cloud

Answer 5

a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground.

Question 6

Drought

Answer 6

a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall; a shortage of water resulting from this.

Question 7

Dew point

Answer 7

the atmospheric temperature (varying according to pressure and humidity) below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form.

Question 8

Cumulonimbus

Answer 8

a cloud forming a towering mass with a flat base at fairly low altitude and often a flat top, as in thunderstorms.

Question 9

Cumulus

Answer 9

a cloud forming rounded masses heaped on each other above a flat base at fairly low altitude.

Question 10

Cumulus

Answer 10

a cloud forming rounded masses heaped on each other above a flat base at fairly low altitude.

Question 11

Air Pressure

Answer 11

The force of air malliculse It pushes down on things on Earth. This is called air pressure.

Question 12

Forecast

Answer 12

predict or estimate (a future event or trend).

Question 13

Front

Answer 13

the side or part of an object that presents itself to view or that is normally seen or used first; the most forward part of something.

Question 14

Funnel cloud

Answer 14

a rotating funnel-shaped cloud forming the core of a tornado or waterspout.

Question 15

Hail

Answer 15

pellets of frozen rain that fall in showers from cumulonimbus clouds.

Question 16

humidity

Answer 16

a quantity representing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere or a gas.

Question 17

Hurricane

Answer 17

a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.

Question 18

Meteorology

Answer 18

the branch of science concerned with the processes and phenomena of the atmosphere, especially as a means of forecasting the weather.

Question 19

Thunder

Answer 19

a loud rumbling or crashing noise heard after a lightning flash due to the expansion of rapidly heated air.

Question 20

Thunderstorm

Answer 20

a storm with thunder and lightning and typically also heavy rain or hail.

Question 21

Tornado

Answer 21

mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud and advancing beneath a large storm system.

Question 22

Tropical depression

Answer 22

A tropical depression forms when a low pressure area is accompanied by thunderstorms that produce a circular wind flow with maximum sustained winds below 39 mph. Most tropical depressions have maximum sustained winds between 25 and 35 mph.

Question 23

Typhoon weather

Answer 23

The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a “typhoon” and “cyclones” occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. The ingredients for these storms include a pre-existing weather disturbance, warm tropical oceans, moisture, and relatively light winds.
