rain
What color is rain?
clear duhhhhh
What are clouds?
They are ice crystals or water droplets in the air.
Energy transfers from warm air to cold air until their __________ become equal.
Temperature
What is climate?
The weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.
What is the first thing in the water cycle?
evaporation
How does rain effect air parcels?
The air parcel will gain energy from the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.
Why do clouds move?
Clouds move because the wind is carrying the parcel of cloudy air along.
True or False?
If an air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air it won't rise
False
climate is/is not the average weather patterns we see over the decades
climate IS the average weather patterns we see over the decades
what does the water cycle do?
continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere.
How does rain fall?
water droplets condense onto one other, causing the water droplets to fall.
How are clouds formed?
When the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals.
True or False?
The troposphere is the warmest at the surface and coldest at the highest.
True
Climate never/always changes.
ALWAYS
what is condensation?
the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water.
How is rain formed?
Raindrops fall to Earth when clouds become filled with water droplets.
What is the lowest cloud type?
Stratus clouds
Systems go or do not not go through periods of stability and periods of change.
They do
True or False
the troposphere effects climate
true
What are the major processes of Water Cycle?
Evaporation, Condensation, and Precipitation.
What are the three things that cause more rain?
Wind, high temperature, more water vapor.
What is the highest cloud type?
Cirrus clouds
Air parcels can be pushed up into the ___________
by wind
Troposphere
climate is/is not the weather of a specific region over a long period of time.
climate IS the weather of a specific region over a long period of time.
How do plants give off water?
Through transpiration in their leaves.
