100
What is a front?
The transition zone between two air masses.
100
What is capillary action?
The transfer of water from high pressure to low pressure.
100
What is the water cycle?
Evaporation, Condensation, Precitpitation
100
What is a cloud?
Water condensed in the sky that hangs on dust.
100
What is ...? (Hint: look at the title of the column)
Conduction.
200
What is a cold front?
Cold, dense fast moving air running into warm less dense air.
200
What is the dew point?
The temperature at which water condenses.
200
What is the density of water?
1g/cm3
200
What is the cloud recipe?
1. Water vapor 2. Dust particles 3. Temperatures at or below the dew point.
200
What is convection?
The transfer of heat through water.
300
What is a warm front?
Warm, less dense fast moving air running into more dense cold air.
300
What is one water molecule made up of
Two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms, or H2O.
300
How can runoff be a problem?
Flooding.
300
What type of clouds are above 6000m. List 3 or more types.
Answers may vary. Examples: cirrocumulus, cirrostratus, cirrus, cumulonimbus Does not work: Altocumulus, Altostratus, stratocumulus, cumulus, nimbostratus, stratus, etc.
300
What is conduction?
The transfer of heat through direct contact.
400
What is a stationary front?
A cold and warm air mass that meet that cannot move past each other.
400
Draw a diagram of the water cycle. Label with condensation, precipitation, and evaporation.
400
How much of Earth's fresh water is stored in ice and snow.
68.7%
400
How does rain form?
Warm, wet air is forced upward where it cools, condenses, forms clouds and rains.
400
What is radiation?
The transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves.
500
What is an occluded front?
A warm air mass that gets caught between two cold air masses.
500
Describe whether energy is added or lost from water in each of these processes; evaporation, condensation, melting, freezing.
evaporation - adding melting - add condensation - lost freezing - lost
500
What is reverse osmosis used for?
The extraction of salt and other atomic-level impurities from water.
500
What is the asperitas cloud?
A wave-like cloud that covers the sky and is rare.
500
What can represent convection, conduction, and radiation that we drew in our packets?
Pots that have boiling water, foot touching hot sand, and a light bulb radiating heat.
