Match the following: Column A Column B 1 . Wind a. atmospheric disturbances with high-speed wind 2 . Storm b. storms occurring over oceans near equator 3 . Wind vane c. wind speed 4 . Anemometer d. moving air in the atmosphere 5 . Cyclone e. wind direction

1. Wind - d. moving air in the atmosphere Moving air in the atmosphere is called wind. It is due to the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun. Due to the uneven heating, the warm air rises up and the cooler air from the surroundings rushes to take its place. This is how the wind blows. 2. Storm - a. atmospheric disturbances with high-speed wind Storms are the atmospheric disturbances accompanied by very strong, high-speed winds. They can cause large-scale destructions.They are known by different names in different places. 3. Wind vane - e. wind direction The wind vane is an instrument used to find the direction of the wind. It can be made in any shape but the tail must be larger than the tip. When the wind blows, it spins and points to the direction to which the wind is coming. 4. Anemometer - c. wind speed Anemometer is an instrument used to find the wind speed. In cup anemometer, the cups rotate when the wind blows. They rotate faster when there is a greater wind. So by measuring the speed of the cup we can calculate the wind speed. 5. Cyclone - b. storms occurring over the oceans Cyclones develop over the oceans near the equator. it has speed ranging from 120 km / h to 280 km / h . Column A Column B 1 .
