Weather 2

3. The average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time
5. Causes warm air to rise quickly and causes quick, violent storms
6. Wispy, feathery clouds made of crystals
7. The transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas). When warm fluids rise and cool fluids sinks.
12. A flat layer of gray clouds (cover sky like a blanket)
13. Water vapor becomes liquid water and forms clouds
15. Water that falls to Earth as rain, snow, hail or sleet
16. Fluffy clouds in the sky on nice days
17. A large body of air
18. Warmer air rises and moisture in the air causes lousy weather
20. Giant thunderhead clouds (violent thunderstorm clouds)
22. A long period of time with a shortage of rainfall
23. An instrument used to measure air pressure
26. A funnel shaped cloud that reaches the ground. It I a violent and destructive wind storm that moves across land.

1. How much moisture is in the air
2. A storm produced by a cumulonimbus cloud. There is thunder, lightening, strong winds, heavy rains and maybe even hail.
3. Heat transfer by direct physical contact
4. The place where air masses meet
8. Water changed from a liquid to a gas
9. Unique cloud shape caused by the vortex of rising air.
10. Heat from the sun causes water to evaporate from plant leaves
11. Weather phenomenon caused by rising warm, moist air. Examples are hurricanes (formed over warm oceans) and tornadoes (formed in cumulonimbus clouds)
14. Cooler air sinks and very little moisture in the air causes happy weather
19. A tropical storm that forms over warm ocean waters and can be up to 600 miles wide
21. Warm air slides over top of cool air and causes feathery clouds and maybe some light showers
24. Energy that can transfer by traveling in waves. This form of energy can also travel through empty space.
25. Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
