Answers
1
A violent whirling wind that moves in a narrow path over land is
front
thuderstorm
tornado
hurricane
2
Tornadoes often form as a result of
warm fronts
extreme thunderstorms
cold fronts
hurricanes
3
a _____ forecasts the weather
biologist
hydrologist
geologoist
meteroologist
4
High pressure means good weather because
relative humidity is close to zero
temps are moderate
the density of air is less
the airs sinking makes it difficult for clouds to form
5
On the station model here, the dew point is
+28
31
30
247
6
Thunder results from
rapid heating of air
air heating, expanding, and rapidly cooling
high winds
build up of static electricity in clouds
7
at this temp. a dew point and clouds, what type of precip is most likely or about to fall?
snow
rain
sleet
freezing rain
8
Violent storms generally form along a
warm front
occluded front
cold front
stationary front
9
Frozen precipitation that falls during intense thunderstorms during warm weather months is
Sleet
Hail
Snow
Freezing Rain
10
a line on a weather map that contains equal areas of atmospheric pressure is called
isobar
is a boar
ice of bar
isotherm
11
The interaction of air, water, and ________ result in weather.
land
wind
garret
sun
12
When water droplets form around dust particles and become heavy enough to fall we have
dew point
fog
wind
precipitaiton
13
Lightning results from
build up of static electricity in clouds
rapid heating of air
air heating, expanding, and rapidly cooling
high winds
14
snow that melts in the air and refreezes near the ground becomes
snow with new flake
hail
fog
sleet
15
____humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor that air is holding compared to its max
relative
partial
saturated
total
16
On the station model here, 247 refers to
pressure
dew point
temperatue
pressure drop
17
When moisture condenses out of air and falls to the ground we are experiencing
condensation
transpiration
precipitation
evaporation
18
an air mass that forms off the southeast coast of the US is
hot, dry
warm, moist
cold, dry
cool, moist
19
Water forms on surfaces at night when the air is clear because
the air near the ground is colder than the ground
the air near the ground cools to its dew point
the air is not saturated
the relative humidity decreases
20
Hurricanes form over
tropical oceans
temperate zones
grasslands
mountain ranges on the coast
21
a line that connects points of equal temperature is a(n)
station model
isobar
isotherm
satellite map
22
A ___ forms where cold and warm air masses meet
flood
front
climate
cloud
23
If air containing moisture is cooled, the temp at which the air is saturated and condenses is
wind point
rain point
dew point
wind chill
24

relieved
condensed
31

tornado
cloud
air mass
front
