Learn about weather instruments. Hop (Easy) Sort the weather tool and its function to the names below: Anemometer Wind Speed Barometer Air Pressure Thermometer Temperature Rain Gauge Precipitation Skip (Medium) Label the Warm Front Below:Warm AirCold Air Warm Air Cold Air Skip (Medium) Label the parts of the cold front below:Warm AirCold Air Cold Air Warm Air Skip (Medium) Continue JUMP (Difficult)There are four puzzles below. Which type of front or weather conditions are being described? I am represented by a line of trianglesThe air with a lower temperature sinks while the air with a higher temperature rises based on density, the lower temperature air is moving in while the higher temperature air is being pushed away.What am I? COLD FRONTI am a battleground of two competing air masses where there is a boundary between the two air mass temperatures.Like my condition suggests, I am also represented by two different shapes.What am I? STATIONARY FRONTI am the warmer air pushing the colder air, rising above it based on its less dense nature.I represent the transition between two fronts, signaling an increase in the amount of thermal energy in the region.What am I? WARM FRONTI result in bright, sunny days.I have a higher pressure at the center of my air mass than in the areas surrounding me.Air near the surfaces flows downward, air does not condense as easily.Wind blows away from my high-pressure center.What am I? HIGH PRESSURE DAYI result in rain, snow, sleet or hail.I have a lower pressure at the center of my air mass than in the areas surrounding me.As the air rises, so does water vapor causing an increase in condensationWind blows toward my low-pressure center and air rises.What am I? LOW PRESSURE DAY Sort the Characteristics of High pressure days and low pressure days in the spaces shown. Low Pressure Days Barometer Decreasing Cloudy and Raining Snowy Weather The Rain Gauge measures an Increase High Pressure Days Barometer Increasing Sunshine Clear Skies The Rain Gauge measures no Precipitation Ocean currents Label the warm currents (Gulf Stream and North Atlantic) and cold ocean currents (Peru Current and California Current). Label the Equator. Gulf Stream California Current Peru Current North Atlantic Equator What patterns do you notice in the ocean currents? Where do cold currents come from? Where do warm currents come from?
