Front 1

CUMULUS

Back 1

a cloud forming rounded masses heaped on each other above a flat base at fairly low altitude.

Hint 1

Front 2

CIRRUS

Back 2

thin, wispy clouds that usually form above 18,000 feet. These clouds are blown by strong westerly winds aloft into streamers known as "mares' tails"

Hint 2

Front 3

CUMULONIMBUS

Back 3

a cloud forming a towering mass with a flat base at fairly low altitude and often a flat top, as in thunderstorms.

Hint 3

Front 4

STRATUS

Back 4

cloud forming a continuous horizontal gray sheet, often with rain or snow.

Hint 4

Front 5

AIR PRESSURE

Back 5

the force exerted by air on any surface in contact with it. Changes in the air pressure or barometric pressure mean a change in weather

Hint 5

Front 6

TRANSPIRATION

Back 6

the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere.

Hint 6

Front 7

CONDENSATION

Back 7

the change of water from water vapor into liquid.

Hint 7

Front 8

EVAPORATION

Back 8

when a liquid for example water turn in to gas for example steam when heated.

Hint 8

Front 9

PRECIPITATION

Back 9

is any form of water - liquid or solid - falling from the sky. It includes rain, sleet, snow, hail and drizzle plus a few less common occurrences such as ice pellets, diamond dust and freezing rain.

Front 10

SEA BREEZE

Back 10

a breeze blowing toward the land from the sea, especially during the day owing to the relative warmth of the land.

Hint 10

Front 11

LAND BREEZE

Back 11

a breeze blowing toward the sea from the land, especially at night, owing to the relative warmth of the sea.

Hint 11

Front 12

WATER CYCLE

Back 12

the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.
