Clouds form when water evaporates into the air and condenses into suspended particles in the air.
How do clouds form?
100
Water cycle affects weather by bringing water to different places and so rain and floods and storms and and when too much evaporation and usage and less precipitation is drought.
How does water cycle affect weather.
100
weather is condition of atmosphere at certain time and place.
What is weather.
100
Water gets warm and turns into a gas and floats away
What is Evaporation
200
Weather conditions over long period of time.
What is Climate
200
They give different amount of water and reflect and reradiate sunlight.
How do clouds affect climate?
200
air mass
what is a large volume of air with temp and moisture same throughout?
200
Amount of water vapor in air
What is humidity
200
Water cools and settles again as a liquid onto cooler surfaces.
What is Condensation
300
Sun's rays hit in different amounts of energy, resulting in some places colder than others
How does Sun's rays affect weather?
300
Fog forms when condensation occurs close to ground
How does fog form
300
front
What is the boundary between two different air masses called.
300
Ratio of water vapor in air to max possible to be in air
What is Relative Humidity.
300
Water gets too heavy for a cloud and is released in any form of water
What is Precipitation
400
Topography influences weather patterns and transfer of energy.
How does topography affect climate?
400
Clouds are visible because water reflects light.
Why are clouds visible
400
Jet streams
What is winds in which air moves at least 96 km/h called.
400
temp at which most water evaporates into air
What is dew point
400
Water evaporates from the leaves of plants and is released into air.
What is transpiration
500
Water temperature changes slower than land temperature so
it helps moderate the weather and sudden changes happen rarely because of this, keeping a steady climate.
How do large bodies of water affect climate?
500
Cirrus/cumulus clouds
What is classification for thin, wispy not producing precipitation clouds.
500
Calm areas
What is between global wind chains
500
any form of water that is released from clouds
What is precipitation
500
when ground is absorbed water to limit, excess water runs downhill.
