NAME______________________ DATE GRADE 4/5 – SCIENCE SOL 4.6 REVIEW –WEATHER LABEL the 3 stages of the water cycle ( evaporation, condensation, precipitation.). The diagram above shows: a life cycle. *the water cycle. a thunderstorm. The _______drives the water cycle. clouds *sun moon Energy from the sun warms the water on earth causing it to: disappear condense *evaporate When water evaporates it becomes: clouds. *water vapor. wind. Water vapor is water in the ____ state. solid liquid *gas As the warm moist air rises, it begins to cool, which causes the water vapor in the air to: evaporate boil *condense When water vapor (a gas) becomes water (a liquid), this process is called: boiling *condensation evaporation Water vapor in the air condenses when it: warms. *cools. gets heavy. When water vapor condenses, it forms: tiny droplets of liquid clouds *both - Clouds are tiny droplets of liquid. As more and more tiny droplets of liquid form, they combine and get heavier. What happens next? Nothing *They fall as precipitation They cause thunder Clouds are made of: gas *tiny drops of water frogs When water droplets get big and heavy, this occurs: *precipitation. hibernation. evaporation Which is not a form of precipitation? Rain Snow *Fog Sleet Freezing rain Hail Fog is actually: *a low stratus cloud. smoke. pollution. ______ is the amount of water vapor in the air. Air pressure. *Humidity. The dew point. This instrument is used to measure humidity: an anemometer a spectrascope. *a hygrometer Hint for the last question - think or the “h” in both humidity - hygrometer) A scientist who studies weather is called a: zoologist. etymologist. *meteorologist. Clouds are formed when: *warm, moist air rises and cools. dust particles come together. there is high humidity. The movement of air is: air force. *wind. thunder. Wind speed is measured by an anemometer and wind direction is measured by a: anemometer barometer *weather vane What is the average weather conditions in an
