Weather Word Search
Forty words for what happens over our heads: clouds, wind and rain, snow and sleet, fog and frost, and the instruments a meteorologist reads to make a forecast, from the thermometer and barometer to radar and the satellite pictures on the evening news.
Nearly all weather happens in the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere, which is only about seven to ten miles deep. Evangelista Torricelli built the first mercury barometer in 1643, Daniel Fahrenheit gave his name to a temperature scale in 1724, and Anders Celsius proposed his in 1742, at first with water boiling at 0 and freezing at 100.
The cloud names came from Luke Howard, an English chemist who in 1802 gave them Latin words: cirrus for a curl of hair, cumulus for a heap and stratus for a layer. A hurricane, a typhoon and a cyclone are the same kind of storm with different names in different oceans, while a tornado is far smaller and spins down from a single thunderstorm.
