Our Atmosphere Our Atmosphere The Earth is surrounded by a blanket of gases which makes up our atmosphere. © Copyright NewPath Learning.

Oxygen and water vapor are two types of gases in the atmosphere. troposphere stratosphere mesosphere thermosphere There are 4 layers within our atmosphere; the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere and Thermosphere. All weather occurs within the Troposphere.

The Water Cycle © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. 94-4355 Visit www.newpathlearning.com for Online Learning Resources. Evaporation Condensation Precipitation Runoff Water constantly moves from the Earth’s surface into the air and back again. This process is called the water cycle. Sunlight provides the energy for water to move through the water cycle. Water changes form when it is heated or cooled. Water can exist as a solid (ice), liquid (rain), or a gas (water vapor). Condensation As water vapor rises into the air, it cools causing the vapor to turn into tiny water droplets and form clouds. This change is called condensation. Precipitation As these tiny water droplets in the clouds join together they grow too heavy and fall to Earth as rain, snow, sleet or hail. This process is called precipitation. snow rain rain sleet snow Heat from the Sun causes liquid water on the Earth’s surface to change to water vapor or gas. This is called evaporation.

Who studies weather? Rain H H H H H H LL 5 DAY FORECAST MON TUES WED THUR FRI Meteorologists Scientists who study the weather are called meteorologists. Meteorologists use various tools to measure weather conditions and predict future weather. Symbols on weather maps show weather fronts, air pressure, precipitation, and more. Meteorologists predict and help prevent severe weather like hurricanes and tornadoes from hurting people and destroying property. Radar, computers and weather instruments are used to prepare weather forecasts. In the United States, most weather information comes from the National Weather Service.

Pause & Review Meteorologists gather information to predict severe weather systems so they can warn people to prepare and take shelter. Draw lines to match the images to the definitions of severe weather. Thunderstorm - a small weather system with heavy rains, high winds and lightning Blizzard - a snowstorm with high winds and blowing snow, large amounts of snowfall Hurricane - an extremely large, tropical, rotating storm that has winds of at least 119 km/h Tornado - a funnel cloud (rotating column of air) that touches the ground
Types of Clouds Sky Condition Sky condition is observed using your eyes. The sky can be sunny, partly cloudy, or cloudy. Types of Clouds A cloud is a large collection of tiny water droplets and ice crystals floating in the air. The types of clouds in the sky can tell us the kind of weather we will have. Cirrus Clouds Cirrus clouds are thin and form high up in the atmosphere. They often tell us that the weather is about to change. Stratus Clouds Stratus clouds are smooth, gray clouds in layers that cover the entire sky. Sometimes they produce a light rain or snow. Cumulus Clouds Cumulus clouds are fluffy and look like pieces of floating cotton. They usually predict fair weather. Cumulonimbus Clouds A cumulonimbus cloud is a very large cumulus cloud that is responsible for thunderstorms and extreme weather. Some photographs courtesy of NOAA © Copyright NewPath Learning.

Precipitation can be in the form of rain, snow, sleet or hail, depending on the air temperature between the clouds and the ground. Humidity Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. The air feels dry when the humidity is low and damp when the humidity is high. A hygrometer is used to measure the amount of water vapor in the air. rain sleet snow hail A rain gauge is used to measure how much water has fallen. © Copyright NewPath Learning.

Air Temperature & Pr essure Air Temperature Air temperature is how hot or cold the air is. Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius (ºC) or degrees Fahrenheit (ºF), using a thermometer. Air Pressure The air in the atmosphere is pulled toward the Earth’s surface by gravity. The weight of the air pushing down on the Earth’s surface is the air (barometric) pressure. aneroid barometer atmospheric pressure vacuum 760 mm (29.92 in.) mercury barometer © Copyright NewPath Learning.

Air that moves from one area to another is called wind. Differences in air pressure and heat from the Sun cause winds. Wind Speed Wind speed is measured by an anemometer. Wind blows the small cups around and around, and the revolutions measure the speed in either kilometres per hour or miles per hour.
