JEOPARDY The Science of WEATHER JEOPARDY Energy Heat Transfer Wind Air Masses The making of Rain 100 100 100 100 100 200 200 200 200 200 300 300 300 300 300 400 400 400 400 400 500 500 500 500 500 Energy 100 How many degrees is the earth tilted? 23.5 degrees Energy 200 What are the two causes of seasons? 1.Tilt of Earth 2.Earth’s Revolution around the sun Energy 300 Word meaning seasons with equal hours of day and night Equinox Energy 400 Proper name for season with the most hours of daylight Summer Solstice Energy 500 Our atmosphere is made of several gases. Certain ones like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor are efficient at trapping heat. This trapping of heat is known as The Greenhouse Effect Heat Transfer 100 The direct transfer of heat from the sun To the earth is called: Radiation Heat Transfer 200 The transfer of heat from one object to another when one object touches the other Conduction Heat Transfer 300 The transfer of heat by the movement of fluids like air or water is called: Convection Heat Transfer 400 What type of heat transfer gets heat throughout the entire troposphere? Convection Heat Transfer 500 Using the 3 heat transfer terms describe how the atmosphere gets heated. 1. Energy from sun radiates to the ground 2. The Ground conducts heat to air molecules 3. Heated molecules rise up through convection Wind 100 As warm air rises it creates an area of low air pressure because it . . . is less dense and weighs less Wind 200 What instrument is used to measure wind speed? Anemometer Wind 300 Because of the rotation of the Earth, air returning to the equator gets pushed off it’s course. This is called the . . . Coriolis Effect Wind 400 Wind is the movement of air from areas of high to areas of low pressure. What’s missing from this definition? You may wager up to the amount you It’s thehave horizontal currently on the Dailymovement Double question. Wind 500 At 30 degrees North Latitude there are no global winds. Which way is the air mostly moving there? Down Air Masses 100 An air mass of dry and cold air is called Continental polar Air Masses 200 A humid warm air mass is called Maritime Tropical Air Masses 300 Points The place where two air masses meet but don’t mix is called the Front Air Masses 400 What instrument is used to measure relative humidity? psychrometer Air Masses 500 Air masses are bodies of air that have what 3 similar factors? Temperature, humidity and Pressure The Making of Rain 100 Liquid water becomes water vapor through the process of . . . evaporation The Making of Rain 200 As warm moist air rises it cools. The water molecules come together in a process called. Condensation The making of rain 300 As humid air begins to condenses it forms Clouds / Rain / Snow The Making of Rain 400 For every thousand feet air rises it will decrease in temperature by how many degrees Celsius? Three The Making of Rain 500 Why do fierce thunderstorms occur in Florida daily between 1 and 3 This is the time of most direct light and so the land is most heated there and rises quickly.
