| To measure this, we use a rain gauge | Precipitation |
| Water that falls to the ground from the atmosphere | Precipitation |
| It describes how much water vapour is present in the air | Humidity |
| A measure of how hot or cold the air is | Temperature |
| It is moving air and its speed can be measured using an anemometer | Wind |
| We use a thermometer to measure this | Temperature |
| It can be measured in Celsius / Centigrade or Fahrenheit degrees. | Temperature |
| Can you name two types of liquid precipitation? | Rain Drizzle |
| Can you name solid precipitation? | Hail Snow |
| When warm air rises and then cools down.. | clouds are formed |
| If a water droplet measures more than 0,5 mm is.. | Rain |
| Cirrus clouds often means.. | bad weather |
| Clouds contains million of droplets of... | water and ice. |
| All the atmospheric conditions presented in a specific place and time | Weather |
| Polar, tropical and temperate | Climate |
| when we talk about temperature, humidity, wind and precipitation | Weather |
| It describes the main weather characteristics of a place. | Climate |
| Water, air and heat from the Sun work together to make | Weather |
| They are cold all year around | Polar climates |
| Countries with this climate lie between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. | Tropical Climates |
| They have mild weather with hot summers and cold winters. | Temperate Climate |
| The most densely populated parts of the world lie in this region. | Temperate Climates |
| They are warm all year round and have rainy seasons. | Tropical Climates |
| Winter brings darkness and temperatures as low as -50 ˚C | Polar climates |
| Mediterranean-Continental climates have very low temperatures in | winter and very hot ones in summer |
| Mountain climates have very low temperatures in winter | and mild temperatures in summer |
| Mediterranean climates have high temperatures in the summer | and mild winters |
