AIR PRESSURE
This instrument measures air pressure
Barometer
The horizontal movement of air is called this.
Wind
This air rises.
Warm
This is the term for moisture in the air.
Humidity
This process occurs when water goes from a liquid to a gaseous state.
Evaporation
Air presses in what direction(s)
All
The vertical (up and down) movement of air is called this.
Air current
This causes winds to form.
Uneven heating of Earth's surface.
Water in the gas form is called this.
Water Vapor
This process occurs when water goes from a gaseous to a liquid state.
Condensation
Air pressure is weakest at this location
Mountaintop
These winds move across our entire planet.
Global winds
This breeze goes from land to sea.
Land breeze
The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor the air can hold.
Relative humidity
This is any form of liquid falling from the sky.
Air pressure is strongest at this location
Sealevel
These winds move across small areas.
Local winds
This breeze goes from sea to land.
Sea breeze
When air can hold no more water vapor it is said to be this.
Saturated
This is the process where plants expel water.
Transpiration
What are two things that make air pressure change.
Temperature
Amount of Water Vapor
This instrument is used to measure wind speed.
Anemometer
This heats up slowly and cools down slowly.
Water
When air cools and reaches this, the water vapor condenses out and becomes liquid droplets.
Dew point
This is the point at which air can hold no more water, much like a sponge being "full" and incapable of holding any more water.
