Weather and climate Review

Master weather and climate with this engaging science review worksheet!

What type of weather is created when a warm air mass rises and a cold air mass fills in the space? sunshine wind Why is it warmer at the equator than at the poles? It is warmer at the equator because at the equator the rays of the sun hit it straight on which is called direct sunlight. It is warmer at the equator because at the equator the rays of the sun hit it at an angle which is called indirect sunlight. It is the same temperature at both the poles and the equator because they receive equal sunlight. Use the phrase bank to copy and paste your answers on the Weather diagram from Mosa Mack (Lesson 1 Vocabulary cards).

Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere Use the diagram above to help you with the following question:In which layers (2) does the temperature of the atmospheric layer decrease as altitudeincreases? Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere Where on Earth do the sun’s rays hit at an indirect angle? equator prime meridian north pole south pole The sun beats down on the tropics and causes what molecules to evaporate into the air mass above it? H20 CO2 O2H N2O Weather is the condition of the _ or _ on our planet. rocks, geosphere water, hydrosphere air, atmosphere trees, biosphere What determines our weather besides temperature? humidity wind precipitation ocean currents As warm air rises, it cools and condenses. This causes which of the following? Rain Humidity What are minute-by-minute changes in the atmosphere are known as? climate weather What are the average atmospheric conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period? climate weather Use the cliamte map above to answer the following question:In which climate zone is Georgia? Marine Westcoast Tropical Wet Humid Continental Humid Subtropical Use the climate map above to answer the following question:What are the characteristics of Georgia's climate? Dry and Warm Moist and Cold Moist and Warmer Marine and Cool Use the climate map above to answer the following question:How many climates are in the state of Texas? 1 2 3 4 Use the climate map above to answer the following question:How many climates are in the state of California? 1 2 3 4 Which is NOT a form of severe weather? Tornado Hurricane Rain storm Flood Drought Blizzard A tornado is a very tall air column. It stretches all the way from a thunderstorm cloud high in the sky to the surface of the earth. Which characteristic is missing? thunderstorm cloud column of air lightning bolt fast-spinning True or False: Hurricanes form over cool ocean water. True False What is an antonym for "flood"? Drought Wind Storm Surge True or False: Floods can cause a mountain or hillside to collapse (fall down). This is called a mudslide. This is a form of mass wasting. True False TRUE OR FALSE: The biosphere alludes to living things. The geosphere refers to Earth's layers The atmosphere is all about our air whereas the hydrosphere is about our water. True False True or False: The jet stream is part of a global cycle. True False True or False: The jet streams are caused by air swirling from the equator and the poles. True False Which type of front is this diagram show? Warm Front Cold Front Stationary Front True or False: Air masses don't affect us at all. True False True or False: If the jet stream dips from the poles, then it will be warm for a few days. True False Which of the following characteristics are important for our weather to be balanced? water and wind wind and land land and rocks water and land What type of climate might we expect the British Isles to have, but doesn't have because of the Gulf Stream current? hot cool warm dry Which type of front is shown in this diagram? Warm Front Cold Front Stationary Front Which front causes heavy rain, hail, and lightning? Warm Front Cold Front Stationary Front Use this diagram on Atlanta's Average Rainfall to answer questions.
