Humidity & Precipitation
What happens when relative humidity reaches 100%?
What is Precipitation is likely to occur.
What is a cold front?
What is a boundary where cold air replaces warm air.
What affects temperature differences between equator and poles?
What is the intensity of sunlight.
How does elevation affect air pressure?
What is higher elevation = lower air pressure.
How do ocean currents affect climate?
What is cold currents cool regions, warm currents warm them.
How does humidity affect precipitation chances?
What is higher humidity increases precipitation chances.
What weather does a Stationary Front bring?
What is extended periods of rain.
Why do coastal areas have milder climates?
What is water moderates temperature changes.
Which way does wind move?
What is from high-pressure to low-pressure areas.
What is an example of a warm ocean current?
What is the Gulf Stream.
What happens when warm air holds more moisture?
What is it can lead to heavy rainfall or storms.
What is an Occluded Front?
What is a front where a cold front overtakes a warm front.
How does latitude affect climate?
Lower latitude = warmer climate, higher latitude = colder climate.
What happens to air pressure before a storm?
What is it decreases.
How does upwelling affect marine life?
What is it brings nutrients to the surface, supporting ecosystems.
What type of precipitation forms in freezing temperatures?
What is Snow or Sleet.
What front brings quick, strong storms?
What is a cold front.
What factors influence climate?
Latitude, ocean currents, altitude, and wind patterns.
What is a high-pressure system?
What is an area of sinking air, usually bringing clear weather.
What happens when ocean currents change?
What is it can disrupt climate patterns, such as El Niño.
What tool measures humidity?
What is a hygrometer.
How do meteorologists predict fronts?
What is by analyzing temperature, humidity, and pressure changes.
What is the difference between weather and climate?
What is weather is short-term; climate is long-term.
What is a low-pressure system?
What is an area of rising air, often bringing storms.
What drives ocean currents?
What is wind, Earth's rotation, and temperature differences.
