Wind/Precipitation
Air Pressure
Weather
Clouds
Atmosphere
100
moving air influenced by the spin of the earth and the surface of the earth is heated unevenly.
What is Wind
100
the mixture of gases found in Earth's atmosphere
What is air
100
the process in which water pools in large bodies of water(oceans, seas, and lakes).
What is Accumulation
100
Fluffy white clouds that are flat on the bottom.They are formed when warm air rises. These usually indicate fair weather.
What are Cumulus Clouds
100
all weather happens here and air pressure is the highest in this layer
What is Troposhere
200
The spin of the earth causes winds to blow in a curved path rather than a straight line.This curving of moving objects is called the
What is Coriolis Effect
200
the amount of air in a certain volume
What is air pressure
200
the process in which water vapor (a gas) in the air turns into liquid water
What is Evaporation
200
This cloud forms in layers.They cover large areas of the sky.
What are Stratus Clouds
200
Shimmering curtains of light called auroras happens here
What is Thermoshere
300
most common type of precipitation
What is rain
300
the amount of water vapor in the air
What is Humidity
300
rain, snow melt, or other water that flows in the underground streams, drains or sewers
What is Subsurface Runoff
300
this forms when a stratus cloud condenses near the ground
What is Fog
300
jets cruise near the bottom of this layer temperature goes up as altitude increases
What is Stratosphere
400
liquid precipitation that freezes when it hits the ground
What is Freezing Rain
400
water in a gaseous state
What is water vapor
400
the process in which some water within plants evaporates in the atmosphere
What is Transpiration
400
thin, feathery,white clouds that are found at very high altitudes. They can often indicate approaching bad weather.They form when the wind is strong.
What are Cirrus Clouds
400
Meteors or shooting stars, burn up in this layer. This is the coldest layer
What is Mesosphere
500
Water vapor in clouds can be converted directly onto ice crystals.
What is snow
500
the force applied to a surface
What is high/low pressure
500
the process in which water vapor (a gas) in the air turns into liquid water
What is Condensation
500
A cumulus cloud that produces a thunderstorm
What is a cumulonimbus cloud
500
Many satellites orbit here, air pressure is the lowest here
What is Exosphere
