As more and more
tiny droplets of
liquid form in a

As warm moist air
rises, it begins to
cool, which causes
the water vapor in
the air to do this
What is condense?
This measures the
wind direction
What is a
weather vane?
This measures the
amount of
precipitation
What is a
rain gauge?
This measures the
speed of the wind
What is an
anemometer?
This measures the
force exerted by the
weight of the air
What is a
barometer?
This measures the
amount of water
vapor in the air
What is a

between two air
masses
What is a
front?

What is a
meteorologist?
Movement
of air
What is wind?
Instruments in space
that collect weather
data and take pictures
of cloud cover
What are
weather
satellites?
This is associated
with low or falling
air pressure
What is
rain or snow?
This indicates that
there is clear, cooler
weather ahead
What is a rising
