2. In the middle of the stratosphere is gravity.
3. Cl im ate tells what is going on in the atmosphere at a particular place and time.
4. Air pressure is controlled by the temperature of the air, the amount of
water vapor in the air, and the al titude.
5. Air pressure can be measured using a hygrometer.
6. A l and breeze happens when the cold, heavier air over the ocean pushes the warm air over the

7. The amount of water vapor in the air is generally referred to as
hum idity.
8. A col d front brings heavy rains and thunderstorms.

Col umn A
1. It begins as a low pressure center over an ocean with
circulating wind of less than 24 km/hr and,
in some cases, no winds at all.
2. It develops when the circulating wind has a speed of
60 km/hr or less.
3. Warm air rises in the center of the typhoon.
4. It develops if the wind speed increases beyond
60 to 118 km/hr.
5. It develops if the wind speed is more than 118
km/hr. Its name means great winds.
6. It is characterized by strong winds, short-period heavy
rains that generally last for one to two hours, with lighting
and thunder.
7. It is another name for the humid Southwest
Monsoon.
8. It is the other name of the Northeast Monsoon.
9. It is formed when the northeast trade winds move

the southeast trade winds meet.
11. It is the most violent storm that occurs on earth.
12. It is larger than a tornado and it moves in a circular
path across a land area towards the northwest.
13. It happens when the sea level rapidly rises because
of a hurricane.
14. It can tell which areas are likely to be affected by a
tropical cyclone in the Philippines.
15. It can detect the presence of typhoons even at
distances of several hundred kilometers.
