    6 Weather

    -The Earth’s weather changes continuously from day to day. Vocabulary

    weather- How the outside air feels and looks.


    -Changes in the weather are characterized by daily differences in wind, temperature,

    and precipitation. forecast- a prediction about what kind of weather


    to expect
    - Weather affects how we dress and the activities in which we participate. For
    wind- moving air that can change in speed and
    example, farmers keep track of the weather to know when to plant and harvest
    direction
    their crops.
    temperature- lower means colder and higher means
    warmer; measured in Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C)

    Weather Conditions can be described as; precipitation- water that falls from the sky that
    can be liquid or solid
    sunny cloudy windy rainy snowy
    weather instrument- a tool that is used to
    measure weather

    water cycle – the process in which water can


    change from a liquid to water vapor, produce
    condensation, and then fall down as precipitation

    meteorologist- A scientist who studies and


    predicts the weather by measuring, observing and

    Types of Precipitation recording weather data.

    Types of Weather Instruments

    thermometer measures the


    temperature of the
    air

    rain gauge measures the amount


    of rain or snow that
    falls to the ground

    anemometer measures the speed Key ideas: Weather data is collected and We can measure and
    of the wind recorded using instruments. record weather data,
    This information is very useful using weather
    for predicting weather and instruments, including a
    determining weather patterns. thermometer, rain gauge,

    Types of Severe Weather
    thunderstorm a loud, windy storm blizzard a heavy snowstorm with strong
    with lightning, thunder winds and freezing
    and rain that happens temperatures; also very
    when warm, wet air damaging and dangerous
    meets colder, drier air

    oceans; as it hits land,
    it begins to become
    weaker; also very
    dangerous and
    damaging

    The Water Cycle
    condensation - When cold air and
    warm air meet, a gas changes to a
    liquid. So as the water vapor in the
    air rises, it meets cold air and
    condenses into drops which come
    together with dust to form clouds.

    evaporation - When the sun


    heats the water and the water

    precipitation - This is water turns from a liquid to a gas


    called water vapor. Water vapor
    that falls from the sky in the
    is all around us but it is
    form of rain (liquid water)
    snow, sleet, or hail (frozen invisible.-

    water.)

    collection or storage -
    Water falls to the earth and
    eventually becomes
    groundwater or is stored in
