weather

1. Cloud type that forms in flat layers when air cools over a large area, “spread out”, tend to produce steady, light precipitation
4. a violent, tropical, cyclonic storm of the western North Atlantic, having wind speeds of or in excess of 72 miles per hour
5. a localized, violently destructive windstorm occurring over land and characterized by a long, funnel-shaped cloud extending toward the ground and made visible by condensation and debris
8. effect The rotation of the Earth causes winds to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
9. Cloud type that appears as puffy masses and often look like cotton balls, “heap” or “pile”, usually appear in the daytime in fair weather but if they keep growing taller can produce rain showers and thunderstorms

2. a storm with thunder and lightning and typically also heavy rain or hail
3. a device that measure wind direction
6. rainfall made acidic by atmospheric pollution; main cause is the industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels, which releases sulfur and nitrogen oxides, which then combines with atmospheric water to form acids
7. Cloud type that appears feathery or wispy, “curl of hair”, form in very high altitudes and made of ice crystals
