Large accumulations of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere
What are clouds?
310C warm air holds 74% of its maximum water vapor is an example of this.
What is relative humidity?
What is dew point?
Rain, snow, sleet, or hail
What is precipitation?
Variables like humidity and wind speed are used to describe this phenomenon.
What is weather?
Atmospheric conditions along with short-term changes of a certain place at a certain time.
What is weather?
The amount of moisture in the air
What is humidity?
Strong updrafts within the clouds lift ice crystals until they are too heavy to remain aloft causing this to occur in the summer.
What is hail?
Instrument used to measure air pressure.
What is a barometer?
The rate at which air moves from high pressure to low pressure regions
What is wind speed?
When the humidity reaches the dew point, water vapor condenses around ice crystals or particles in the atmosphere and forms these.
What are clouds?
Air pressure is typically measured in this unit.
What are millibars?
What is temperature?
is a weather variable (must name at least three!)
What is air pressure, temperature, humidity, precipitation, clouds, and wind speed?
What is an anemometer?
