Weather

2. looks like a cotton ball, puffy, formed when air rises, then air cools to dew point temp. and cloud.
4. large ice pellets form in cumulonimbus clouds when updrafts of warm air carry rain up so high it freezes and collects snow flakes which melts and adds size.
7. water drops that are about 1,000 times the size of a cloud drop.
8. produce light and steady rain or snow, usually covers the whole sky.
10. thin and wispy clouds.
13. molecules of liquid water in oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water are heated by the sun.
14. Overflowing of water in a normally dry area.
15. Large layer of air is cooled to its dew point, covers large areas of the sky blocking out the sun.

1. known as thunder storm clouds.
3. plants: water enters through the roots, travels to the leaves, and released into the air as water vapor.
5. Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth's surface.
6. when rain falls through a layer of very cold air and freezes before it hits the ground.
9. Animals/people: release water vapor into the air every time they breath out.
11. when the air is so cold that water vapor changes directly to ice crystals -a gas changes directly to a solid.
