Science Chapter 10 Study Guide: The Water Cycle The Earth’s surface is ¾ water. The Sun’s role in the water cycle is evaporating water with its warmth. A high anemometer reading means it is very windy. A barometer measures air pressure. Land cools more quickly than water Large land and sea breezes are called monsoons. Warm Air Rises. A hurricane’s winds are at least 119km per hour. You should leave the area if instructed or go to the center of the building away from windows to stay safe from a hurricane. When the molecules in water vapor cool in the sky, they form clouds of condensation. Air is cooler at the top of the mountain than it is at the base of the mountain. If the arrow on a wind vane is pointing South, then the wind is blowing from the North. Short Answer: Be able to explain the water cycle. For example: The water cycle is the movement of water between Earth’s surface and the atmosphere. The sun’s energy evaporates water on Earth and turns it into water vapor. In the sky, water vapor condenses into clouds. It finally returns to the Earth as precipitation. Short Answer: The summer climate of an area near the ocean is cooler than an area inland. Its winter climate is warmer than an area inland. This is because of the unequal heating of the Earth’s surface. If the barometer is low then the weather would be damp and cloudy with strong winds.
