sleet/rain/snow
(either one is acceptable)
(if say all three subtract points)
rain only falls in cold air?

Warm air
If altitude increases what does density do?
Decrease
If warm air expands what does cool air do.
condense.
what is the biggest possible form of sleet in diameter?
5mm
Hail is always 3mm in diameter.
False,Hail needs to be 5mm in diameter being the smallest.
Density
What is the measure of the amount of matter in a given space.
Gravity
What causes air to be more dense the closer you are to the surface?
wrong answer you lost points
wrong answer you lost points
What is the smallest mm hail could be in diameter?
5mm
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
(get double points)
Is sleet ever in a liquid state.
True, that is what makes sleet sleet.
What kind of precipitation is rain?
liquid precipitation.
free points
free point
What are local winds?
It is the wind we feel on earth.
How do you get dew?
when it is night there is no heat so the condensation falls to the ground.
a jet stream is a river.
False, it is a type of air movement
what kind of precipitation is snow?
solid precipitation.
Altitude
What is the height of an object relative to ground/sea level?
If earth is curved what does that have to do with the heating?
There is uneven heating.
What is humidity?
it is the amount of moisture in the air.
Rain, Snow, Sleet, and Hail are all types of precipitation.
True, they are different types but they are all the same.
What is snow?
flakey solid precipitation.Occurs when frozen water falls into cold air.
