Answer Key

#	Answer
1	Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a specific time and place.
2	Examples include temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, or air pressure.
3	A thermometer.
4	Air pressure.
5	The amount of water vapor in the air.
6	Hail.
7	They use weather maps to study patterns and predict future weather.
8	Air pressure usually decreases before a storm.
9	A cold front is the boundary where a colder air mass moves in and replaces a warmer air mass.
10	Cloudy, windy, and stormy weather.
11	Warm air has more energy, which allows it to keep more water vapor in the air.
12	Clouds, rain, or a storm may be coming.
13	Mountains can force air to rise, cool, and form precipitation, often making one side wetter than the other.
14	Weather is short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate is the average weather pattern of a region over a long period of time.
15	Thunderstorms or heavy rain may develop because warm moist air is forced to rise over the advancing cold air, causing condensation and cloud formation.
