Melting
Solid turning into a liquid.
This is more likely to occur during warmer months.
What is hail?
What is evaporation?
Liquid turning into a gas.
What is condensation?
Gas turning into a liquid.
This happens the higher into the atmosphere you go.
Get colder.
This tends to be less dense and rise.
What is warm air?
This is the border between two air masses.
What is a front?
Precipitation
Any form of water falling from the sky.
If the force of gravity is less than the force of the updraft an object will.
Rise.
A stronger updraft could be caused by this.
The temperature near the ground being much hotter than the air above it.
This tends to be more dense and sink.
What is cold air?
A body of air with uniform temperature and humidity.
What is an air mass?
The part of the water cycle where water returns to the sky.
evaporation
This type of cloud is the most common storm cloud.
Most of the water on Earth is this.
Saltwater
The air is warmer here.
Near the ground.
This can be warm or cold.
What is an air mass.
This has no ending.
The water cycle
These places tend to get more precipitation.
Places of higher elevation and closer to the ocean.
This is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to how much it can hold.
What is relative humidity?
This happens when a cold air mass moves toward a warm air mass.
A cold front.
This is how water vapor gets into the air.
It is heated, causing it to rise.
This has been around since day one
The water we have.
Solidification
Gas turning into a solid.
This is responsible for the movement of the weather/air masses.
Ocean currents
