Weather Wonders: Exploring the Science of Forecasting and Meteorology

The video explores how meteorologists predict weather using tools like radar and satellites. It explains the role of weather patterns and air movements in forecasting. The video encourages checking weather forecasts before making plans and invites viewers to engage with questions.

What is the primary role of meteorologists?

• To study the stars

• To control the weather

• To predict the weather using scientific methods

• To create weather apps

What does a green color on a radar image indicate?

• No rain

• A little bit of rain

• Heavy rain

• Snow

What tool do meteorologists use to see things in the sky that are far away?

• Binoculars

• Radar

• Telescope

• Microscope

What can radar images show besides rain?

• The height of mountains

• The temperature of the ocean

• The speed of cars

• The direction of the wind

How do satellites assist meteorologists?

• By predicting earthquakes

• By providing images of the ocean

• By measuring temperature on the ground

• By taking pictures of clouds and storms from space

What do meteorologists look for in satellite images?

• The movement and speed of clouds

• The depth of rivers

• The size of trees

• The color of the sky

What happens when warm air meets cold air?

• It causes a drought

• It usually results in clouds and rain

• It leads to a heatwave

• It creates a sunny day

Why is it important to recognize weather patterns?

• To stop rain from happening

• To create new weather patterns

• To predict the weather accurately

• To change the weather

What is a limitation of weather predictions?

• They are only useful for one day

• They are never based on science

• They are always wrong

• They can change at the last minute

What should you do before making outdoor plans?

• Check the weather forecast

• Read a book

• Ask a friend

• Look at the stars
