Weather Unit: Study Sheet
Weather Unit-Mid Unit Test Study Sheet
1. What are the four elements of weather?
The four elements of Weather are Wind, Temperature, Moisture and Air Pressure.
2. What are the three states of water?
The three states of water are solid, liquid and Gas.
3. Explain the differences between solid, liquid, gas- how much energy is being used? What are the particles doing?
The difference between solid, liquid and gas is Solid has low energy and is cold, liquid is medium energy and is warm and gas has a high energy and is hot. The particles in a solid are a slow movement, cold temperature and the particles are very close together. A liquid has a medium movement, medium temperature and the particles are some what apart. A gas is a fast movement, …show more content…
A Barometer a basically an airtight metal can with a needle on it and it measures the amount of pressure that is on a certain place on earth, when the pressure increases the needle moves and when the pressure decreases the needle bends backwards. A wind vane shows the directions of the wind, it has north, east, south and west on it and when the needle points to one of them that is which way the wind is going.
7. How does a convection box work?
In a convection box there are two tubes one with a candle in the bottom, when the put in the cold air the candle heats it up and then the warm air rises which means that the cold air sinks down to the bottom of the convection box
8.Explain the properties of warm air and cool air
The properties of warm air are that it is light so it rises, can hold water and the properties of cold air are that it is more dense, and it cat not hold water.
9. Explain low pressure and high pressure
When warm, light air begins to rise it does not push so hard against the earth, this is low pressure. Colder, heavier air sinks downwards pushing on the earth more, this is high pressure.
10.Definitions- temperature, melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, convection, jet stream, wind
