Water Cycle
Climate
Different kinds of weather's condition
how do clouds form and how are they specified
How do the water cycle and other global patterns affect earth?⚡
100
Evaporation
occurs when liquid water changes into vapor/gas
100
climate
the average temperature of an area. Climate is usual
100
Water vapor that condenses very near earth's surface
fog
100
cloud
collection of small water droplets or ice crystals that are suspended in the air. They are mostly related to precipitation
100
what is a large volume of air in which temperature and moisture content are nearly the same throughout?
air mass
200
Occurs when rain, snow, hail, or sleet falls to the ground
precipitation
200
precipitation
any form of water that falls to Earth's surface from the clouds
200
What are two types of fogs?
radiation fog
Steam fog
200
tiny solid particles in clouds that surface on which water droplets condense
cloud condensation nuclei
200
what is higher-pressure-system?
air sinks slowly
300
occurs when vapor cools and changes gas into liquid
condensation
300
humidity
amount of water vapor
300
Are fogs hazard?
yes
300
list the steps of cloud formation
A. warm air rises, expands and cools
B. Air rises and cools to the dew point
C. condensation takes place on nuclei
D. clouds form
300
What is 'Front'?
a boundary built by air masses
400
water cycle
the continuous movement of water between the land, atmosphere, oceans, and living things
400
amount of water vapor compared to the amount of water vapor needed to reach dew point
relative humidity
400
visibility
the measure of the transparency of the atmosphere affected by fog and pollution
400
precipitation amount equals
climate
400
what is a jet stream?
long distance winds that travel above global winds for 1000's of kilometers.
500
list the steps of the water cycle
Evaporation

500
what is the difference between climate and weather?
Weather is the condition of the Earth's atmosphere
Climate is the average temperature of an area
500
what percent of sun's incoming heat is absorbed by what?
50%
earth's surface
500
how does cloud affect the climate?
precipitation amounts are climate. Since clouds are related to precipitation they affect the climate.
