The Water Cycle
The proces by which a gas changes into a liquid
Condensation
The troposphere is warmest at the (surface/or highest) point.
Surface
To move from one object to another or one place to another
Transfer
What air parcels release as it rises
Energy
rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls from clouds onto the ground
Precipitation
Energy transfers from warm air to cold air until their temeratures become_________________.
Equal
Liquid water droplets suspended in the air
Cloud
What part of the atmosphere does an air parcel rise into?
Troposphere
When water evaporates and the water vapor condenses to make a _________________
a cloud
What happens when an air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air
It will rise
Conditions such as rain, clouds and wind at a particular time and place
Weather
How would you adjust the surface water to create more rain?
Increase the surface water
The continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere.
The Water Cycle
What is the scientific study of weather called?
Meteorology
What is the movement of air in a particular direction?
Wind
How would you adjust sunlight to surface to create more rain?
Increase the sunlight to surface
