water cycle
how many stages of the water cycle are there
7
what are the 4 main front types?
warm,cold,occluded,stationary.
how many layers of the atmosphere are there?
6
what is weather
a day to day state that an area is in.
what are the 4 types of air masses
pollar, tropical, arctic and equatorial.
what is the water cycle powered by
the sun
whats a occluded front
when a cold front overtakes a warm front.
what layer is between stratosphere and thermosphere
mesosphere
wahts te difrence between climate and weather?
weather is day to day climate is overtime.
what happens when 2 air masses meet
the air masses dont mix
whats the difference between evaporation and transpiration
transpiration is where water get absorbed through plants and the water gets turned into a vapor through the leaves. evaporation is when a liquid turns to a vapor.
whats a stationary front
when a front stops moving
what layers are sometimes refered to part of the thermosphere?
exosphere and ionasphere
what can come from clouds
water in the form of rain,sleet,snow,hail or mist.
what causes air masses to move
wind and air currents cause an air mass to move.
what is the stage in between precipitation and ground water?
runoff/surface runoff
what are the 4 fronts - explain what they do
a warm front is warm a cold front is cold a stationary front is when a front stops moving and an occluded front is where a cold front overtakes a warm front.
what layer has the most gases in it
troposphere
how is weather formed
caused by the heat of the sun and movement of the air
how long can air masses control the weather?
up to months
when did the water cycle begin
3.8 billion years ago
what weather does the fronts bring?
a warm front brings stormy weather. a cold front brings gusty winds and precipitation. stationary fronts brings precipitation and sometimes severe weather. an occluded front brings precipitation.
what are the layers of the atmosphere in order from bottom to top?
troposphere,stratosphere,mesosphere,thermosphere,exosphere,ionasphere.
what are the 7 weather elements
wind temperature pressure humidity clouds and precipitation.
whats the warmest air mass
tropical
