what makes a rainbow
when light from the sun is scattered by water droplets (e.g. raindrops or fog) through a process called refraction.
what makes clouds
when the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals.
how does it rain
Within a cloud, water droplets condense onto one another, causing the droplets to grow.
how do nimbus clouds form
Nimbostratus clouds are produced by nearly thermodynamically stable air motions and are deep enough to allow precipitation particles
how does evaporation happend
Evaporation occurs when a liquid changes to a gas.
what is a tornado
A tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground
what are nimbostratus clouds
imbostratus clouds are dark, grey, featureless layers of cloud, thick enough to block out the Sun and produce persistent rain.
what is fog
Fog is a visible aerosol consisting of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth's surface.
What is sea breeze?
Sea breeze blows from the sea onto land
what are cumulus clouds
Cumulus clouds are clouds that have flat bases and are often described as puffy
what is condensation
Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water; it's the opposite of evaporation.
which weather instrument gathers data about wind?
A-thermometer
B-Barometer
C-Anemometer
D-Hygrometer
C-Anemometer
what is rain gauge
A rain gauge is an instrument used to measure the amount of precipitation in a certain area over a period of time.
What is land breeze?
Land breeze is the breeze that blows from land to sea.
what is evaporation
Evaporation is the process by which a liquid turns into a gas.
what is stratus
low altitude clouds that cover the sky in a blanket of white or grey.
what is cirrus clouds
Cirrus clouds are short, detached, hair-like clouds found at high altitudes.
What is jet stream
It is a narrow band of fast moving air high up in the atmosphere
what is gulf stream
It is a a warm ocean current (stream) of water
what is transpiration
Transpiration is defined as the physiological loss of water in the form of water vapor.
What is wind?
Wind is the movement of air from one location to another
what is weather
eather is the mix of events that happen each day in our atmosphere.
what is ground water?
Ground water is the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil.
what is barometer
used especially in forecasting the weather and determining altitude.
what is climate ?
climate is the overall average weather at a place over a period of time.
