Twenty Questions Subject: Water Cycle, Clouds, & Weather Tools Twenty Questions 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 1. Why are there more thunderstorms during the summer? Summer days are longer, the Earth is heated, warm air rises 2. What determines the type of precipitation that falls (hail, sleet, rain, or snow)?. Air temperature. 3. Wind tells us what? The weather is changing. Winds from the south, make weather warmer Winds from the north, make weather cooler 4. Hail is ice that falls after a thunderstorm, even in the summer. Why? Water droplets in the atmosphere are pushed up into cooler layers of the atmosphere, over and over until pellets form and finally fall to the Earth 5. What is the most accurate way to predict the weather? Trust a reliable source such as a news weather channel which uses weather stations with instruments to predict the weather 6. A thermometer is used to…. Determine the temperature during an experiment, or of the environment, or even you body temperature. 7. Nothing is finer than a summer in Carolina. What is a summer in South Carolina like? HOT and HUMID!!! 8. Why is wind speed important? It can indicate a change in weather. Strong winds may be dangerous and people might need to take shelter. 9. Is ocean air warmer or cooler than land air during the day? The ocean air is cooler and provides an ocean breeze to cool the land. The ocean takes longer than the land to heat up during the day. 10. Wind speed is recorded in what measurement? MPH or miles per hour 11. In order for it to rain, water vapor must…. Cool and condense 12. If you see drops of water falling from the sky, it is called…. Precipitation (rain) 13. The movement of water through the stages of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and storage is called…. The water cycle. 14. Clouds that spread out, low, covering the sun, and that bring drizzle are called… Stratus clouds. 15. Clouds that are high in the sky, wispy, and bring fair weather are called… Cirrus clouds 16. Big, puffy, white clouds with nice weather are called… Cumulus clouds 17. Clouds that bring thunderstorms, rain or even hail, and are dark gray are called… Cumulonimbus clouds 18. An anemometer checks….. Wind speed 19. A barometer measures Air pressure 20. A wind vane or wind sock indicates…. Wind direction
