What rises up(a large substance)
Air Parcel
What happens to the amount of water vapor in the air when temperatures increase?
It increases. Warmer air can hold more water vapor. This means there is more moisture available in the atmosphere.
A sphere is perfectly inscribed in a cube of side length 6.
What fraction of the cube’s surface area is touched by the sphere?
0
What is wind
Wind is a movement of air.
Where was the warmest place ever recorded at?
Death Valley
What happens to air when it gets warm? Does it rise or sink?
rise.
How does having more water vapor in the air help storms become stronger?
More water vapor means more condensation can occur when air rises and cools. Condensation releases heat (called latent heat), which gives storms extra energy and can make them stronger.
A 4x4x4 cube is built from 64 small cubes, and the entire surface is painted, including the bottom. All cubes that only have exactly one painted side is removed. Whats the surface area of the remaining solid?
168
What causes wind?
Different air pressures.
What was the temperature of the hottest temperature ever recorded?(You can guess within 5% up and down)Farenheit
127.395-140.805 exact number: 134.1 Farenheit
What happens when hot air rises and cools to the water vapor?
It condensates and becomes liquid water.
Why does warm air rising quickly make thunderstorms more intense?
Warm air is less dense, so it rises faster. Faster rising air creates stronger updrafts inside storms, helping clouds grow taller and allowing more rain, lightning, and sometimes hail to form.
Find the surface area of this: x2+y2+z2=16.
64π(64pi)
How does wind rise up?
By two or more horizontal movements of wind colliding among each other.
What was the name of the most severe hurricane in the world?
Hurricane Patricia
How does evaporation from water sources help form clouds?
They evaporate into water vapor and rises and condensates into liquid water that forms clouds.
How can warmer ocean temperatures affect hurricanes?
Hurricanes get their energy to form from warmer ocean water. Warmer oceans provide more heat for an increase in wind speeds, rainfall, and storm.
A cube has side length 2. All 8 vertices are sliced off so that each cut removes a small regular tetrahedron and all edges are cut at their midpoints. How many faces does the new solid have?
14
How does wind create a more severe rainstorm?
Wind brings the air parcel even higher, causing a even more severe rainstorm.
What was the strongest earthquake ever recorded?
Whats the entire pathway that starts from the sun warming up nearby surface water to precipitating?
Sun warms up nearby surface water into water vapor that goes in an air parcel that rises up that slowly cools down and condensates into liquid water that form clouds that rain/precipitate.
Explain how increasing global temperatures could lead to more severe storms. (Include the roles of evaporation, water vapor, rising air, and energy release.)
Higher temperatures increase evaporation from oceans and land. This adds more water vapor to the air. When warm, moist air rises and cools, the water vapor condenses into clouds and releases heat. This released heat creates stronger updrafts and storm systems. As a result, storms can become more intense, with heavier rainfall, stronger winds, and more powerful weather events.
Find the surface area of the portion of the plane z=3+2x+y above the rectangle 0≤x≤2, 0≤y≤1.

What are the three types of winds?
Planetary winds, local winds, and secondary winds.
What was the strongest tsunami ever?
The Lituya Bay Tsunami
