What is wind ?
200
Changes with height in the atmosphere.
What is wind ?
300
The transfer of energy that occurs because of a difference in temperature between substances.
What is heat ?

What causes wind ?
300
Moves to response in density imbalances created by the unequal heating and cooling on earth's surface.
Which way does air move ?
400

What can temperature be measured in ?
400
The gas phase of water.
What is water vapor ?
400
An increase in temperature with height in an atmospheric layer.
What is temperature inversion ?
500
The temperature to which air must be cooled at constant pressure to reach saturation.
What is dew point ?
500
The amount of water vapor in the air at any given time is usually less than that required to saturate the air. The relative humidity is the percent of saturation humidity, generally calculated in relation to saturated vapor density.
What is relative humidity ?
