Weather Tools
this tool measures rainfall/precipitation in mm
Rain Gauge
the process where water vapor becomes liquid
Condensation
these clouds are cotton ball-like/fluffy
fair weather
Cumulus
the amount of water vapour in the air measured in %
Absolute Humidity
this type of air will usually be found in the lowiest point of the room
coolest air
this measures wind direction in cardinal/inter. directional
Weather vane
the process that moves H20 through our atmosphere
Water Cycle
these are thin wispy, fair weather but changeable
Cirrus
average weather over a long period of time
Climate
the process that involves air warming over water then cooling over land and sinking, then moving towards the water
Land Breeze
this measures air pressure in KPa
Barometer
the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor
Evaporation
these are tall, puffy, dark clouds
severe weather/ thunderstorm
Cumulonimbus
deforestation, mass-production of goods/plastic
What are things that can have a negative effect.
this type of air is less dense/lighter and rises
Warm Air
this measures air temperature
Thermometer
the process by which water becomes saturated in the earth
Collection
these are low stratus clouds that form close to the ground
Fog
amount of water vapor in the air compared to how much it can hold at a given temp.
Relative humidity
this type of air is denser/heavier and sinks
cool air
this measures relative humidity in %
Psychrometer
water that flows over the land surface
Runoff
these are form-less, gray blanket clouds that cover the whole sky, sometimes with drizzle/ light precipitation
Stratus
short term conditions such as precipitation and air temp
Weather
this type of air will usually be found in the highest point of room
Warmest Air
this measures wind speed in km/h
Anemometer
evaporation from plants
Transpiration
these clouds can develop to thunder clouds if they pile up
Cumulus
renewable energy, plant trees, compost
what are items that can help the environment
the process by which hot air rises from land, then as air cools over water and sinks, the cooler air is drawn back towards the land
