A massive igneous body intruded between preexisting strata.
What is latent heat?
100
One of three basic cloud forms; also one of the three high cloud types; They are thin, delicate ice-crystal clouds often appearing as veil-like patches or thin, wispy fibers.
What is a cirrus cloud?
100
Drops of water that fall from a cloud and have a diameter of at least 0.5 mm.
What is rain?

If the dry-bulb is 17°C and the wet-bulb is 7°C then the relative humidity is ______°C.
Is the relative humiduty 19%?
100
This is used to measure temperature.
What is a thermometer?
200
The state of air that contains the maximum quantity of water vapor that it can hold at any given temperature and pressure.
What is saturated?
200
One of three basic cloud forms; also the name given to one of the clouds of vertical developement; They are billowy individual cloud masses that often have flat bases.
What is a cumulus cloud?
200
The fall of small particles of clear-to-transculent ice. For this to form, a layer of air with temperatures above freezing must overlie a subfreezing layer near the ground.
What is sleet?
200
If the air temperature is 43°C and the relative humidity is 60%, the dew point temperature is ______.
Is the dew point temperature 34°C?
200
Relative Humidity is measured using this.
What is the hygrometer?
300
The rate of adiabatic cooling or warming in unsaturated air; The rate of temperature change is 1°C per 100 meters.
What is dry adiabatic cooling?
300
One of three basic cloud forms; They are sheets or layers that cover much or all of the sky.
What is a stratus cloud?
300
At very low temperatures ( when moisture content of air is small) light, fluffy snow made up of individual six-sided ice crystals forms.
What is snow?
300
If the dry-bulb temperature is 20 and the wet-bulb temperature is 16, the relative humidity is ______°C
Is the relative humidity 67%?
300
The ______________ ______________ is used to measure both relative humidity and dew point.
What is an sling psycrometer?
400
A layer of limited depth in the atmosphere of limited depth where the temperature increases rather than decreases with height.
What is temperature inversion?
400
"Rainy cloud."
What is nimbus?
400
Produced in cumulonimbus clouds. Beging as small ice pellets that grow by collecting supercooled water droplets as they fall through a cloud.
What is hail?
400
If the air temperature is 13°C and the relative humidity is 80% then the dew point temperature is _____°C.
Is the dew point temperature 9°C?
400
An instrument that measures atmospheric pressure.
What is a barometer?
500
A theory that relates the formation of precipitation to supercooled clouds, freezing nuclei, and the different saturation levels of ice and liquid water.
What is the begeron process?
500
"To cover with a layer."
What is stratus?
500
This is also known as freezing rain, results when raindrops become supercooled (below 0°C) as they fall through subfreezing air near the ground and turn to ice when they impact objects.
What is glaze?
500
If the dry-bulb temperature is 25 and the wetbulb temperature is 23, then the relative humidity is _____°C.
