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
Climate:the average weather conditions in an area
Cumulonimbus Cloud:anvil-shaped cloud that is often involved in heavy or violent storms,are also called thunderheads
Convection:the transfer of heat from one place to another caused by the movement of molecules
Evaporation:the process in which matter changes from a liquid to a gas
Funnel Cloud:a rotating, funnel-shaped clouds: do not touch the ground.
Front:in weather, the boundary between two masses of air with different properties
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
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:are high-level clouds appearing as a formation of small masses of white or pale blue, fleecy clouds in a globular, wavelike, rippled pattern, usually in regularly arranged groupings
Heat:the quality of being hot; high temperature
Nimbostratus:dark, low-level clouds accompanied by light to moderately falling precipitation
Cirrus Cloud: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 white flakes or lying on the ground as a white layer
Wind:the movement of air due to atmospheric pressure differences
Typhoon:a hurricane or tropical storm originating in the Pacific Ocean
