2
This is the definition of salinity.
3
How much salt is in water
4
This is the water that fills the spaces between
particles of rock and soil.
5
Ground Water
6
Frozen raindrops falling from clouds are called
this.
7
Sleet
8
This type of air pattern occurs when two
different temperatures mix.
9
A Convection Current
10
This is the layer of the earths atmosphere where
there is the most air pressure.
11
The Troposphere
12
Approximately this percentage of the Earth is
covered by oceans.

14
This is the term used when water vapor freezes on
a surface.
15
Frost
16
This is one example of Surface Fresh Water
17
Rivers, Streams, Lakes
18
When a large piece of ice breaks off of a
glacier, this is formed
19
An Iceberg
20
The top level of groundwater in an aquifer is
called this.
21
The Water Table
22
These are the four main phases of the water
cycle.
23
Precipitation, Collection, Evaporation,
Condensation
24
Even though it is the summer, the clouds condense
and are often filled with these.
25
Ice Crystals
26
This is the name of the process in which a solid
(such as ice) turns directly into a gas (such as
water vapor).
27
Sublimation
28
This is the process of the water cycle when a
droplet goes from a cloud to a lake.
29
Collection
30
Dew forms during this part of the water cycle.
31
Condensation
32
A Hurricane gets its energy from this.
33
Warm ocean waters
34
Rising warm air causes this at fronts.
35
Precipitation
36
This is a column of wind lifted up on one end by
upward winds and pressed down on the other end by
downward winds.
37
A Tornado
38
Generally, wind blows in this direction over the
United States.
39
West to East
40
This is the difference between a severe storm
warning and severe storm watch.
41
A severe storm warning means that storms have
already formed.
42
This is one piece of information that a
forecaster would use when determining the climate
of an area.
43
Average Yearly Precipitation
44
The letter H on a weather map means this.
45
An area of High Pressure
46
This instrument is used to find how much moisture
is in the air.
47
A Hygrometer
48
This instrument is used to measure air pressure.
49
A Barometer
50
This instrument is used to measure wind speed.
51
An Anemometer

  • Identify the three main types of clouds.
    Describe each cloud and at what altitude you
    might find them.

Stratus Clouds They cover the whole sky and
often look dark because sunlight cant get
through. They are found at low altitudes.
Cirrus Clouds They are thin, wispy, white clouds
that are found at high altitudes.
Cumulus Clouds They are small, puffy, white
clouds that are found at mid-altitude.
