The mixture of gases surrounding earth is called the ______________. 1. What are the four types of severe weather? 2. What are the five layers of the atmosphere? 2. What are the four types of precipitation? 3. What are the four types of fronts? 4. True or False? Tornadoes form over land. 5. True or False? Hurricanes form over land. 6. When air is thin / thick, it gets heavier. 3. What layer of the atmosphere does weather occur? 4. Which layer of gases shields the entire earth from much of ultraviolet radiation that comes from the sun? Predicting Weather Weather & Climate Fill in the in the table by interpreting symbols on map. 1. When we say warm air rises, what is actually happening ____________ warm air up. (Convection) 2. Wind comes from all different directions because the _______________________. 3. The jet stream is a high altitude wind that moves from west to east. 4. The movement of wind in circles / straight lines is called effect. 5. In a place with no wind, the and weather never change. Human Impact 1. Which of the following statements correctly describes the effect? A greenhouse: A. Lets sunlight in and heat out. B. Lets sunlight in but doesn’t let heat out. C. Reflects both sunlight and heat. D. Reflects sunlight but lets heat in. 2. Wind farms use the power of wind to make _________________________. 3. What are humans doing to cause and increase in can we do to stop this?
