Final Jeopardy

1,1

These wavelengths are alittle bit shorter than visible light

What is ultraviolet radiation?

1,2

Any form of water that fallsfrom clouds is called this.

What is precipitation?

1,3

This is caused by differences

in air pressure.

What is wind?

1,4

This is heat transfer betweentwo substances that are

in contact.

What is conduction?

2,1

This is the energy that heatsup earth’s atmosphere.

What is infrared radiation?

2,2

Most of the world receives

more of this type of

precipitation than snow.

What is rain?

2,3

These are caused byunequal heating in a

small area.

What are local winds?

2,4

This is the type of heat

you would receive from

a campfire.

What is radiation?

3,1

This is the process by whichgases hold heat in the

atmosphere.

What is the greenhouse effect?

3,2

These form when water vaporin the air becomes liquid or

ice crystals.

What are clouds?

3,3

These are located at about30 degrees N and S

and are areas of calm.

What are the horse latitudes?

3,4

This type of heat occursbecause cold air is more

dense than warm air.

What is convection?

4,1

This is the total energy of motion in the molecules of a

substance.

What is thermal energy?

4,2

These are large clouds that often

produce thunder storms.

What are cumulonimbus clouds?

4,3

This instrument measures

wind speed.

What is anemometer?

4,4

This will occur when warmair touches a cold

glass.

What is condensation?

5,1

This absorbs most of Earth’s

incoming UV radiation.

What is the ozone?

5,2

This is used to measure

relative humidity.

What is a psychrometer?

5,3

This is the theory that Earth’s

rotation makes winds seem

to curve.

What is the Coriolis effect?

5,4

This is mostly what heats the troposphere.

What is convection?

Draw, label, and define theDraw, label, and define the3 main cloud types.3 main cloud types.
