atmosphere:layers of gas that surround a planet
air pressure:the force that air puts on an area
barometer:a tool used to measure air pressure
cumulonimbus cloud: anvil-shaped cloud that is often involved in heavy or
violent storms: Cumulonimbus clouds are also called thunderheads.
convection:the transfer of heat from one place to another caused by movement of molecules
evaporation:the process in which matter changes from a liquid to a gas
funnel cloud:a rotating, funnel-shaped cloud
front:in weather, the boundary between two masses of air with different propertie
latitude:angular distance north and south of the equator
meteorology:the study of patterns of weather
precipitation:water that is released from clouds in the sky; includes rain, snow, sleet, hail, and freezing rain
sleet:frozen rain or precipitation in the form of ice pellets
thunderstorm:a weather system that produces heavy precipitation, winds, lightning, and thunder
tornado:a funnel-shaped cloud or column of air that rotates at high speeds and extends downward from a cloud to the ground
hurricane:a storm with strong winds and rain that forms over tropical waters
hail:small, icy balls that fall from the sky
tropical depression:a region of low pressure with counter-clockwise wind rotation that develops into a hurricane or tropical storm
tundra:extremely cold climate located near the North and South Poles and on the tops of mountains; receives very little precipitation and has no trees
typhoon:a hurricane or tropical storm originating in the Pacific Ocean
moisture:a measure of how much water is in something
global warming:the slow warming of Earth's atmosphere due to climatic change
stratus:a low-lying cloud characterized by a thin, layered, sheet-like appearance
cirrocumulus:high-level clouds appearing as a formation of small masses of white or pale blue, fleecy clouds
heat:the transfer of thermal energy
nimbostratus:is a low-to-middle stratiform cloud that has considerable vertical and horizontal extent and produces precipitation over a wide area
cirrus:thin, wispy-looking clouds; commonly found at heights greater than 6 km
cumulus:large, fluffy, white clouds, often seen in fair skies; can develop into cumulonimbus clouds
snow:atmospheric water vapor frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes or lying on the ground as a white layer.
wind:the movement of air due to atmospheric pressure differences
