The 3 ways that energy is transferred between the earth's surface and atmosphere are \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ , \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ , and \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.** **Most energy transfer by conduction occurs at the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.** **This is the only type of energy transfer that CAN transmit through a vacuum!! Energy from the sun travels by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ , the phases of the water bottle water depend on the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.** **Understanding Weather and Climate** **"You pick your vacation destination based on the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ but pack your suitcase based on the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_,"** **Factors Affecting Climate** **Climate Zones** **Climate zones are determined by average \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and average \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.** **Winds** **All winds are caused by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.** **Winds are distinguished by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.** **Experiencing Weather** **The three main types of clouds are \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ , \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ , and \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ , and are classified by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.** **Clouds cover about \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ of the Earth at any given time.** **Match the Latin root with the Match the cloud group with the** **correct translation: correct naming root:** +-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+ | **Cumulus** | **Curl of | **High clouds** | **Stratus** | | | hair** | | | | **Stratus** | | **Middle | **Cirrus** | | | **Heap** | clouds** | | | **Cirrus** | | | **Alto** | | | **Rain** | **Low clouds** | | | **Nimbus** | | | | | | **Layer** | | | +-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+ **Air Masses and Fronts** **Label the types of fronts:** **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** **Air masses are classified based on their \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.** **At a front, the weather is usually \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, and \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ is common.** **Precipitation** **Weather Patterns** **Fill in the chart below using information found in the reading.** **Thunderstorms** **Tornadoes** **Hurricanes** **Snowstorms** ------------------- ------------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------- **Temperature** **Precipitation** **Safety Rules** **Thunderstorms form in large \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ clouds, and begin when \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ air is forced upward.** **\\**
