These are the four layers of the atmosphere.
What are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere?
200
These are the two basic types of cloud formation.
What are cumulus and stratus?
200
Air moves in this direction around a low-pressure area in the northern hemisphere
What is counter clockwise?
200
The atmosphere is heated from here.
What is below?
200
The day if your grad parade
What is august 17th
400
This is the term given to the band located at the top of the stratosphere.
What is the stratopause?
400
Cumulus, towering cumulus, and cumulonimbus clouds belong to this category of cloud height.
What are clouds of vertical development?
400
Fair weather is usually associated with this pressure system.
What is a high-pressure system?
400
This heating process occurs when horizontal movement of cool air over a warm surface allows the cool air to be heated from below.
What is advection?
400
This aircraft is going to replace the CP-140 Aurora
What is the CP-8 Poseidon
600
These are the properties of the atmosphere.
What are mobility, capacity for expansion, and capacity for compression?
600
Water droplets form on these microscopic particles in the atmosphere, allowing condensation to occur.
What are condensation nuclei?
600
As air moves from a high-pressure system to a low-pressure system, this force causes it to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.
What is Coriolis force?
600
As temperature nears this, the air will become more saturated.
What is dewpoint?
600
"that others may live" is the end of their pledge.
who are the SAR techs?
800
This is the standard atmosphere rate of decrease of temperature with height according to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
What is 1.98 degrees Celsius per 1 000 feet?
800
This lifting agent is caused by the heating of the ground by the sun.
What is convection?
800
This law states that if you stand with your back to the wind, the low pressure area will be on your left side.
What is Buys Ballot's Law?
800
This process of cooling the atmosphere occurs when air is forced to rise, and it therefore expands and cools.
What is the adiabatic process?
800
The plane that was the focus of the movie you watched
What is the A-6 Intruder
1000
From the standpoint of weather, this is the most important component of the atmosphere
What is water vapour?
1000
When air rises these two things occur, causing condensation and the formation of clouds.
What are expansion and cooling?
1000
This is the standard mean sea level pressure according to ICAO.
What is 29.92 inches of mercury ("Hg) or 1013.2 hectopascals (hPa)?
1000
Once this reaches 100 percent, any addition of water or decrease in temperature will cause precipitation.
What is relative humidity?
