Weather Vocabulary Words Accumulation Air Mass The amount of precipitation Large bodies of air covering land and ocean areas Air Pollution Gasses and solids in the air that are not normally there, which makes the air less healthy for living things Air Pressure Particles of air pushing down on the Earth’s surface. It is affect by two things 1) amount of air above it and 2) temperature Atmosphere The layer of air (gas) that surrounds the Earth Cirrus Clouds Feathery, white clouds made of ice crystals. The highest clouds Climate A region’s regular pattern of weather over a long period of time Cold Front Condensation Cumulonimbus Cloud Cumulus Clouds Evaporation Forecast Is formed when cold air mass meets up with a warm air mass. The denser, cooler air pushes the warmer air upwards at a rapid pace. Temperatures will drop When water vapor rises, cools, and changes from a gas to a liquid Large storm clouds that reach high up in the air Large, puffy, white clouds that look like cotton balls The process by which a liquid changes to a gas Predictions about the upcoming weather Front The boundary where two different air masses meet (There are three different types: warm, cold, and occluded) Global Warming The slow increase of the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere Groundwater Humidity Water that collects above the rock layer and moves like an underground river Moisture (water vapor) in the atmosphere Land Breeze Meteorologist Meteorology Occluded Front Precipitation Runoff Sea Breeze Stationary Front Stratus Clouds At night, land rapidly loses its heat. Water cools off more slowly. Warmer air rises above the water and is replaced by cooler air form above land A scientist that studies and measures the weather conditions The study of weather Is formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front. Has characteristics of both a warm and cold front When water droplets fall from the sky. Can fall as rain, sleet, snow or hail. Precipitation that runs across the land and falls into rivers or streams During a hot day, land heats faster than water. Air above the land warms and cool air over the water replaces it, causing a cool breeze A front that stops moving for a few hours or as long as a few days Flat layers of gray clouds that seem to “blanket” the Earth. They allow no or very little sunlight to get through. These type of clouds that form close to the ground are called fog Temperature The warmth or coldness of air or other matter Thermometer The instrument used to measure temperature Transpiration The process by which plants lose water out of their leaves (stoma openings) and into the air Warm Front Is formed when a warm air mass meets up with cold air mass. Warm air rises above the cold air mass in a gently sloping effect. Temperatures will rise Water Cycle The continuous movement of water between Earth’s surface and the air, changing from liquid to gas to liquid Weather Wind The conditions of the air in a particular place at a specific time (Can change very frequently during the day or even by the hour) Air on the move
