100
This is what a barometer reads
What is air pressure?
100
This part of the water cycle contains rain, snow, sleet and hail
What is precipitation? yololololol
100
THESE are narrow bands of high-speed winds.
What are jet streams?
100
The differences in THIS cause the air to move (wind).
What is air pressure (from high pressure to low pressure)?
100
The amount of water vapor in the air.
What is humidity?
200
the hydrosphere is made up of all of this on Earth
What is liquid water?
200
When water vapor in the atmosphere cools and comes together to form larger molecules of liquid water, this process is occurring.
What is condensation?
200
THIS is affected by latitude, altitude, distance from large bodies of water, and ocean currents.
What is temperature?
200
The two ways we describe or measure wind.
What are speed and direction?
200
Relative humidity is represented in this numerical form.
What is a percentage?
300
This is the heat transfer type responsible for transferring energy through the troposphere.
What are convection currents?
300
Heat triggers liquid water to be transformed into vapor in the air during this part of the water cycle.
What is evaporation?
300
An aneroid barometer does not use this to measure air pressure.
What is mercury or liquid or stuffs . com
300
When a wind causes a perceived decrease in temperature.
What is windchill?
300
When relative humidity is at 100%, this air is said to be THIS.
What is saturated?
400
What type of temperature scale has water boiling at 100 degrees and freezing at 0 degrees?
What is Celsius?
400
Warm air can hold more of THIS than cool air can.
What is water vapor?
400
What are the 4 main factors that affect rainfall?
Prevailing winds, the presence of mountains, jet streams and seasonal winds.
400
A north wind in called this because...
It is blowing from the North (but toward the South)
400
This can be found by comparing the temperatures of wet-bulb and dry-bulb thermometers.
What is relative humidity?
500
When molecules are closer together, they conduct this better.
What is heat?
500
This band around the globe experiences the most condensation and evaporation.
What is the equator?
500
When elevation increases, what happens to the density and the pressure of the air? Explain.
As elevation rises, the pressure and density decrease. At sea level air pressure is greatest because the pressure of all the atmosphere is weighing down upon you. Higher up, closer to the edge of the atmosphere, there is not as much above you, so the air is less dense and has less pressure.
500
A local wind that blows during the day from the sea to the land is this type of breeze.
What is a sea breeze?
500
What happens to relative humidity when the temperature rises, but the amount of water vapor in the air remains the same?
The relative humidity falls. This is because the same amount of moisture with a now-larger total capacity will result in a smaller percentage of water vapor in the air.
