Clouds
Type of low-lying cloud making it difficult to see
Fog
I am something that can change day to day outside.
Weather
This is how much water vapor the air is capable of holding at one time
Relative Humidity
What stages does water (H20) go through from evaporation to condensation?
LIQUID (H20) --> GAS (WATER VAPOR) --> LIQUID (H20)
This is caused by a difference in air pressure
Wnd
Small iced balls raining down creating damage
Hail
This Cloud tells you a thunderstorm is on its way.
Cumulonimbus
What is the name of the cycle that recycles water to the earth?
Water cycle
Air pressure decreases as altitude ___________.
Increases
What happens after a water droplet moves all the way through the cycle?
THE WATER DROPLET CONTINUES IN THE CYCLE FOREVER
Wind speed is measured with this....
This can be rain, snow or ice
Precipitation
Clouds form when water vapor in the air becomes.........
Liquid or ice
This climate is always cold and there is a type of bear named after it.
Polar
Hazardous weather is more likely to occur when two air masses meet that are ______________?
Different
This forms clouds
Condensation
Near the poles, cold air sinks creating an area of
High pressure
When electricity builds up in the clouds and then discharges on the ground.
Lightning
Puffy clouds found at a medium to low height.
Cumulus
The 5 main parts of the water cycle are
Precipitation
Condensation
Evaporation
Transpiration
Runoff
Hot air __________ Cold air _________
Rises, Sinks
When it rains over land what happens to that rain?
BECOMES RUNOFF, GROUNDWATER AND EVAPORATES THROUGH TRANSPIRATION
Near the equator warm air rises creating an area of ?
Low pressure
Snow that begins to melt as it reaches the ground, but doesn't melt completely
Sleet
Whispy white clouds at high altitudes
Cirrus
What 3 things determine weather?
Heat in the air
Air pressure
Moisture in the air
This affects the movement of air as hot air rises and cold air falls.....
Convection
Once the warm gas hits the cooler air it changes back into a liquid and forms a cloud. This process is called ___________________.
CONDENSATION
What causes most differences in air pressure?
Differences in temperature
When water moves from the clouds to the ocean ________________ is occurring.
Precipitation
