Water Cycle
Evaporation of Plants
Transpiration
Gas that makes up the most of the atmosphere
Nitrogen 78%
Flat, white layered clouds altitude up to 2,000 m
Stratus
Measures wind speed
Anemometer
Warm air rises cool air sinks because of density
Convection
Process from water to a gas
Evaporation
Layer of Atmosphere where we live
Troposphere
Fluffy, heaped, or piled up clouds altitude 2,000 to 6,000 m
Cumulus
Measures humidity
Psychrometer/Hygrometer
System with Fair Weather Clear Skies Mild Temperatures Diverges out No Clouds
High Pressure System
Process gas to a liquid
Condensation
Layer of the Atmosphere where ozone is located.
Stratosphere
Wispy thin clouds altitude above 6,000 m
Cirrus
Measures air pressure
Barometer
System with Clouds Rain possibly Storms Converge in
Low Pressure System
Animals impact the water cycle in this way.
Animal breathes out releasing water vapor from insides lungs into the air. Animal releases water when it sweats or urinates.
Warmest layer of the Atmosphere
Thermosphere
Cloud that forms near the Earth's surface
Fog
Temperature at which air is saturated and condensation occurs
Dew Point
When Fronts collide
Storms occur
Agricultural runoff influences what ecosystems.
River, Wetland, Marine, Freshwater
Area of Stratosphere that protects Earth from harmful UV rays
Ozone Layer
Point in time in water cycle where clouds can form
Condensation
Measures Rain Fall
Rain Gauge
Warm Temperatures _______ Clouds/Moisture
Cold Temperatures ________ Clouds/Moisture
Clouds and more Moisture
Fewer Clouds and less Moisture
