Water Cycle
The water cycle begins with Energy from?
The Sun
When molecules are heated two things occur?
They move faster and move further apart
The reason water droplets are formed in the troposphere is due to?
Molecules cooling, moving slower/Condensing
The warmer the air temperature in the air parcel determines?
How high it will rise
What is the man made cause affecting galetown's weather?
The lake
Air containing water vapor does this when the temperature is increased?
It rises
When a puddle in the driveway disappears in the afternoon it is evidence that this has occurred?
Evaporation
The higher the air parcel rises more blank occurs
Energy Transfer
If the temperature in the air parcel is colder than surrounding air how much rain will be produced?
None Energy will be Transferred IN
How many factors have we discovered are causing more rain?
3 Lake, Higher Temp, Higher Winds
The early onset of condensation creates these?
Clouds
The molecules of water in the air is called?
Water Vapor
Three factors that can affect the amount the condensation are?
Surface water, Air temp and wind
What could cause an Air parcel to rise higher in Troposphere that just it's temperature?
Winds
Dr. Kenji Emerson job is called a?
Forensic Meteorologist
The higher a cloud rises the more of this will be produced?
Precipitation/Condensation/Rain
The presence of a lake or pond causes more rain in an area because there is more what in the region?
Surface water
As Condensation nears completion this is formed in the cloud?
Precipitation
What are two factors in the air Parcel which will affect how much condensation will occur?
Amount of Water vapor and Temperature of Air parcel.
Why are the residents concerned about the rainstorms?
Wind and flood damage from the storms
When condensation is complete this causes Rain to fall?
Gravity
Evaporation is the phase change from what to what
Liquid to gas
The higher up an air parcel goes the surrounding air becomes what?
Colder
If the pressure inside the air parcel is higher than surrounding air how high will the air parcel rise in the troposphere?
It will not rise it will create wind outward
What is the one thing the residents of Galetown could do to decrease the amount of Rain?
To get rid of the Dam that caused the Lake to form.
