Atmosphere: the whole mass of an area that surrounds the earth
air pressure: force that air puts on a object
barometer: tool used to measure air pressure
climate: the average weather conditions in an area
cumulonimbus: anvil-shaped cloud that is involved in heavy or violent storms
convection: rising of hot air above cooler air that produces air currents
evaporation: process in which matter changes from a liquid to a gas
funnel cloud: a rotating, funnel shaped cloud
hurricane: storm with strong winds and rain that forms over tropical waters
hail: small, icy balls that fall from the sky
tropical depression: region of low pressure with counter-clockwise wind rotation(hurricane)
tundra: cold climate near north and south poles
typhoon: a hurricane or tropical storm in the Pacific Ocean
moisture: measure how much water is in something
global warming: slow warming of the earth's atmosphere due to climate change
front: 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
sleet: frozen rain
thunderstorm: weather system that produces heavy precipitation
tornado: column of air that rotates at high speeds and extends downward from a cloud to the ground
stratus: low-lying cloud, characterized a thin, layered, sheet-like appearance
cirrocumulus: high altitude cloud consisting of small white rounded masses in groupings
heat: the transfer of thermal energy
nimbostratus: low dark area of gray cloud of rain or snow
cirrus: thin, wispy looking clouds; heights greater that 6 km
cumulus: large, fluffy, white clouds
snow: soft, white pieces of frozen water m
wind: movement of air due to atmospheric pressure differences
