Match each word to its definition.

____________- Weather patterns in a region over long periods of time

________ -   The primary source of Earth’s heat and light; provides energy for the water cycle

 ________________ - The process of liquid water turning into water vapor due to increased thermal energy

____________ - The condition of the air outdoors in a specific area

A meteorologist is someone who studies weather.

Which statement would a meteorologist most likely make when describing weather rather than climate?

“Based on the patterns I’ve observed over the last 10 years, it will rain tomorrow.”

“The average high temperature over the last decade has increased.”

“The last 30 years have shown a pattern that low temperatures are decreasing.”

“A cold front is moving in overnight.”

A diagram of the water cycle is shown.

Which stage represents condensation? Select the correct answer.

This photograph shows a beach on a partly sunny day.

Which of the following is an interaction between the sun and the ocean that results in clouds forming near the beach?

Energy from the sun causes precipitation over the ocean.

Energy from the sun causes water to evaporate from the ocean.

Light from the sun reflects off the surface of the ocean.

Light from the sun decreases the amount of water vapor in the air over the ocean.

Some scientists measured and recorded local rainfall amounts and water levels at several local lakes over the summer. They compared their measurements with data from the past 30 years. The scientists concluded that the area was drier this summer than in previous years. They plan to continue recording these measurements each summer for the next decade.

What characteristic of the area are the scientists studying?

Climate, because they are making more than one type of measurement

Climate, because they are comparing rainfall amounts over a long period of time

Weather, because they are tracking changes only to their local environment

Weather, because they expect rainfall amounts and water levels to continue to decrease
