Weather Facts 2
100
matter with a fixed volume and shape
What is a solid?
100
Cooled water vapor condenses into water droplets and forms clouds.
What is the Second Stage of the Water Cycle?
100
clouds that form on the ground
What is fog?
100
a collection of water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere
What is a cloud?
200
matter without any defined shape or volume
What is a gas?
200
Evaporation - Heat from the Sun causes evaporation of water from oceans, lakes, and rivers. Water vapor rises in the air and cools.
What is the First Stage of the Water Cycle?
200
The temperature at which air becomes saturated.
What is the dew point?
200
a continuous loop of moving fluid (air or liquid) that transfers energy.
What is a convection current?
300
matter with a defined volume but no defined shape
What is a liquid?
300
Water droplets in the cloud become heavy and they fall as precipitation.
What is the Third Stage of the Water Cycle?
300
the force that air puts on an area
What is air pressure?
300
conditions in the atmosphere at a given time and location
What is weather?
400
the change in a substance from a gas to a liquid
What is "condense"?
400
Condensation
What is the Second Stage of the Water Cycle?
400
water in the form of gas
What is water vapor?
400
any form of water that falls to Earth
What is precipitation?
500
the change in a substance from a liquid to a gas?
What is evaporate?
500
Precipitation
What is the Third Stage of the Water Cycle?
500
the movement of air due to changes in air pressure
What is wind
500
to change a substance from a solid to a liquid by increasing the temperature
What is melting?
