| How is the glass in a greenhouse similar to greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere? | They both allow light in and trap heat. |
| Name some factors that could effect an areas climate? | Latitude, nearby oceans or mountains. |
| Where should you go to stay safe in a tornado? | Get to low areas such as a basement or a cellar. |
| There is a thunderstorm outside, would it be safe to hide inside a metal shed? | No! |
| What are some of the effects of global warming? | Drought, melting glaciers, dramatic temperature changes |
| What do weather maps use to show areas that have the same atmospheric pressure? | Isobar lines |
| As altitude increases, what happens to the temperature? | The temperature decreases. |
| What conditions will start a hurricane? | A low pressure area over warm ocean water. |
| Why does water condense on the ground in the early morning? | The air temperature near the ground has reached its dew point. |
| Name some adaptations that animals have developed to live in extremely cold regions? | Hibernation, thick fur, |

| How is snow formed? | When clouds are cold enough, water vapor converts directly into ice crystals without first becoming liquid water. |
| How can we get so many different forms of ice precipitation such as snow, hail, and frozen rain? | There are layers of different temperatures in the atmosphere. Water and ice are effected by these different temperatures as they fall. |
