Predicting Weather

What is a weather forecast?

• A prediction of future weather conditions based on current data and meteorological models.

• A historical record of past weather events.

• A detailed report of current weather conditions only.

• An analysis of climate change effects on weather patterns.

What is precipitation?

• A type of weather phenomenon involving high temperatures

• Any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface

• A measurement of humidity in the air

• A process of water evaporation from the Earth's surface

What is weather?

• Weather is the long-term average of atmospheric conditions.

• Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, including temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind.

• Weather refers to the climate of a region over many years.

• Weather is the study of atmospheric phenomena.

What is a warm front?

• A boundary that forms when a warm air mass slides over a cold air mass.

• A type of front that occurs when two cold air masses meet.

• A weather phenomenon characterized by heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.

• A transition zone where warm air rises rapidly, causing turbulence.

What is atmospheric pressure?

• The force exerted by the weight of air above a given point.

• The pressure exerted by the Earth's surface on the atmosphere.

• The pressure that results from the movement of air in the atmosphere.

• The force exerted by the sun's rays on the Earth's surface.

What is convection in weather?

• The process by which warm air rises and cool air sinks, creating circulation patterns in the atmosphere.

• A method of measuring temperature changes in the atmosphere.

• The phenomenon of air pressure differences causing wind patterns.

• The process of water vapor turning into liquid water in the atmosphere.

What is the atmosphere?

• The atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding the Earth, essential for weather and climate.

• The atmosphere is a solid layer of minerals that protects the Earth from meteoroids.

• The atmosphere is a liquid layer that covers the Earth's surface and supports aquatic life.

• The atmosphere is a vacuum that exists in space, devoid of any matter.

What forms when two air masses collide?

• A weather front

• A cyclone

• A thunderstorm

• A high-pressure system

What type of map shows weather conditions from space?

• A satellite map shows weather conditions from space.

• A topographic map shows weather conditions from space.

• A political map shows weather conditions from space.

• A road map shows weather conditions from space.

What is humidity?

• Humidity is the amount of water vapor present in the air.

• Humidity is the measure of temperature in the atmosphere.

• Humidity refers to the pressure exerted by the air.

• Humidity is the speed of wind in a given area.
