6th Grade Science - Weather patterns & climate

What is the source of energy for the Earth's water cycle?

• Moon's gravitational pull

• Sun's radiation

• Earth's core heat

• Wind energy

What are the 4 different types of storms?

• Snowstorm, Thunderstorm, Hurricane, and Tornado

• Snowstorm, Blizzard, Thunderstorm, Tornado

• Snowstorm, Earthquake, Thunderstorm, Rainstorm

• Thunderstorm, Snowstorm, Earthquake, Tornado

When liquid water becomes water vapor. (Part of the water cycle)

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Transpiration

Wind moves from areas of high pressure to

• Low pressure

• High humidity

• Calm areas

• High temperature

The greenhouse effect is

• the process by which gases hold heat in the atmosphere.

• a method of cooling the Earth by reflecting sunlight.

• the phenomenon of increasing ocean levels due to melting ice.

• the process of converting solar energy into chemical energy.

What is a front?

• where warm air is cooling at earth's surface

• a line where hot and cold air are separating

• a line where two different air masses meet

• where cold air is rising and forming rain clouds

A low pressure system means we might have this weather: Sunny, A clear sky, Dry day, Stormy or wet

• Sunny

• A clear sky

• Dry day

• Stormy or wet

Which of these is an example of precipitation?

• snow

• air

• clouds

• vapor

^{Is humidity the amount of water in the air?}

• Yes

• No

• Sometimes

• Depends on the temperature

Why is the Ozone important to life on Earth?

• The Ozone helps in the formation of clouds.

• The Ozone protects the Earth’s atmosphere and the life on Earth from harmful radiant energy emitted by the sun.

• The Ozone is responsible for the greenhouse effect.

• The Ozone provides essential nutrients for plant growth.
