Answer Key

#Answer
1Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a specific place and time.
2Temperature and precipitation are two common elements of weather.
3A thermometer is used to measure temperature.
4A barometer is used to measure air pressure.
5A rain gauge measures the amount of precipitation.
6A wind vane shows the direction of the wind.
7An anemometer measures wind speed.
8Warm air rises because it is less dense than cool air.
9Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.
10Cloudy weather usually keeps daytime temperatures cooler by blocking some sunlight.
11Weather is short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate is the usual weather pattern in a region over a long time.
12When warm air rises, it leaves less air pressing down at the surface, so air pressure can decrease.
13The temperature changed by 6°C.
14The total rainfall is 20 mm.
15The wind speed increased by 7 km/h.
16It is coming from the north.
17Weather forecasts help people plan activities, travel, clothing, and safety precautions.
18Clouds form when water vapor cools and condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals.
19Condensation is the change of water vapor into liquid water.
20The water cycle provides the moisture needed for clouds, rain, and other forms of precipitation.
21The average is 4 hours per day.
22The range is 5°C.
23Coastal areas are influenced by the ocean, which heats and cools more slowly than land.
24Air moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas, and this movement is called wind.
25Sunday had 9 mm more rain than Saturday.
260°C is the freezing point of water.
27Mountains can force air to rise, cool, and form clouds or rain on one side of the mountain.
28Air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
29This statement is not correct because one morning describes weather, not climate. Climate is based on long-term patterns.
30It means rain is likely, but not guaranteed. A person should plan for possible rain by carrying an umbrella or changing outdoor plans.
