Example: Temperature: is measured through the use of thermometers in units of degrees Fahrenheit (℉) or degrees Celsius (℃). , Precipitation: a measure of the amount of rain, sleet, snow, or hail over a period of time. Precipitation is measured using a rain gauge in units of inches or centimeters., Wind Speed : is measured using an anemometer in units of miles per hour and/or kilometers per hour. , WInd Direction: is the measurement of the direction from which the wind is blowing (example: a northeast wind means the winds is blowing from the northeast direction). o Wind direction is determined using a wind vane.

Example: Cirrus Clouds: High and wispy. They signal fair weather., Cumulus Clouds: Puffy with flat bottoms. They signal fair weather or a warm front., Cumulonimbus Clouds (Thunderhead clouds): Darker cumulus clouds that may signal rain or thunderstorms, Stratus Clouds: Spread out over a large area and are layered. Long periods of precipitation occur over the area the cloud covers.

Example: Gases that absorbs and gives off energy that heat up the atmosphere: Greenhouse Gases, Is the conversion or the change of energy from sunlight into electricity,: Solar Power, A fuel formed by natural processes of decaying or dead organisms. This process of creating fossil fuels takes billions of years to complete.: Fossil Fuels, Is the total greenhouse gas made by an individual.: Carbon Footprint

Example: Coriolis Effect is the what?: Curving of the air and water on earth., What is the Jet Stream?: A narrow band of strong winds that blow in the upper troposphere., What is the polar easterlies?: Prevailing winds that blow from the east to the west between 60 degrees and 90 degrees latitude in both hemispheres.es, What are the polar westerlies?: Prevailing winds that blow from the west to east between 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres.he west between 30 degrees 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres.
