That portion of precipitation that runs into other bodies of water rather than being absorbed into ground water or evaporating.

A type of soil erosion caused by wind.

The process of water seeping into the ground to become groundwater.

The evaporation of water from plant leaves.

What is precipitation?

A form of water (hail, rain, sleet, snow) that condenses in the atmosphere and falls to Earth’s surface.

A type of weather phenomenon that occurs when the temperature drops below freezing.

A process that involves the evaporation of water from the Earth's surface.

A measurement of the amount of water vapor in the air.

Identify the different temperatures associated with each type of precipitation.

Snow: Below 0°C, Rain: Above 0°C, Sleet: Around 0°C

Snow: Above 0°C, Rain: Below 0°C, Sleet: Around 0°C

Snow: Around 0°C, Rain: Below 0°C, Sleet: Above 0°C

Snow: Below 0°C, Rain: Around 0°C, Sleet: Above 0°C

A form of solid precipitation that falls when the air temperature is below freezing (below 32°F or 0°C).

A type of rain that occurs in tropical regions.

A form of precipitation that only occurs in deserts.

A type of cloud formation seen in summer.

How is it possible to have hail in Florida?

Due to cold fronts and thunderstorms

Because of the tropical climate

Due to the proximity to the ocean

Explain how sleet is different than hail.

Sleet is smaller and forms in winter, while hail is larger and forms in thunderstorms.

Sleet is larger and forms in thunderstorms, while hail is smaller and forms in winter.

Sleet and hail are the same, just different names.

Sleet forms in summer, while hail forms in winter.

What is air pressure?

The force of air pushing down on Earth, measured with a barometer.

The weight of water in the ocean.

The speed of wind in the atmosphere.

What type of weather is associated with high air pressure? Low air pressure?

Sunny and clear weather is associated with high air pressure, while stormy and rainy weather is associated with low air pressure.

Stormy and rainy weather is associated with high air pressure, while sunny and clear weather is associated with low air pressure.

High air pressure is associated with cold weather, while low air pressure is associated with hot weather.

Low air pressure is associated with clear weather, while high air pressure is associated with stormy weather.

How are air temperature and precipitation related?

Higher air temperatures can lead to increased evaporation and precipitation.

Air temperature and precipitation are not related.

Lower air temperatures always result in more precipitation.

Air temperature only affects precipitation in tropical regions.

How is humidity related to precipitation?

Humidity is unrelated to precipitation.

Humidity decreases precipitation.

Humidity increases precipitation.

Knowing wind direction can help you predict the weather because:

it indicates the movement of weather systems.

it shows the temperature changes.

it predicts the amount of rainfall.

it determines the humidity levels.

What might you observe on a day with high wind speeds?

Leaves and debris blowing around

What is a hemisphere?

Half of the Earth - northern, southern, eastern, and western hemispheres.

Explain how climate and latitude are related.

Latitude affects climate by influencing temperature and precipitation patterns.

Climate and latitude are unrelated.

Climate is solely determined by latitude.

Latitude only affects climate in polar regions.

Explain how temperature and elevation are related.

Temperature decreases with elevation.

Temperature increases with elevation.

Temperature remains constant with elevation.

Temperature fluctuates randomly with elevation.

Why is one side of the mountain called a 'rain shadow desert'? The side of a mountain that receives little or no rain because the height of the mountain prevents moisture from reaching the other side is called a 'rain shadow desert.'

Because the mountain blocks moisture from reaching that side

Because it is on the windward side of the mountain

Because it receives more sunlight

Because it is closer to the equator

The climate in Florida is characterized by:

tropical and subtropical conditions with hot, humid summers and mild winters

arid desert conditions with extremely hot summers and cold winters

temperate conditions with four distinct seasons

polar conditions with extremely cold temperatures year-round

The temperatures of the polar zones are so cold because:

they receive less direct sunlight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.

they receive direct sunlight all year round.

they are located at high altitudes.

they are surrounded by warm ocean currents.

What types of precipitation fall in the temperate zone? When?

Rain and snow throughout the year

Why are there very few clouds in the desert sky?

Because deserts have low humidity

Because deserts are too hot for clouds

Because deserts have strong winds

Because deserts are far from oceans
