Miscellaneous
100
The amount of these present determines Air pressure
What air molecules
100
Wind is actually this.
What is the movement of air molecules?
100
Water Vapor does this to become liquid.
What is condense?
100
Forms when water droplets combine and fall in warm weather.
What is Rain?
100
The amount of water vapor in the air.
What is Humidity?
200
Air molecules move from this to this.
what is High to Low pressure
200
Winds form because of this.
What is variations in air pressure from place to place?
200
Water vapor needs this to condense.
What are solid particles
200
Forms when ice crystals combine and get heavy enough to fall in cold weather.
What is snow?
200
When air cools to this clouds form.
What is dew point?
300
Air pressure becomes this the higher you are above sea level.
What is less dense?
300
Trade winds and these are the three global wind belts.
What are Easterlies and Westerlies.
300
This the most violent type of cloud formation.
What is cumulonimbus?
300
This precipitation covers everything in a layer of ice.
What is freezing rain?
300
When air is holding all the water vapor that it can it called this.
What is saturated
400
The instrument used to measure air pressure.
What is a barometer.
400
This is a low pressure area with little to no wind.
What are the doldrums?
400
This type of cloud forms from ice crystals at high altitude. They appear thin and whispy
What is Cirrus?
400
This precipitation only comes from big cumulonimbus clouds.
What is hail?
400
Besides evaporation, this puts water vapor into the air.
What is plants and animals breathing?
500
Hurricanes and Tornadoes are caused by this this type of weather system.
What is a Low pressure system
500
This causes the earths winds to Curve.
What is the Coriolis affect?
500
This cloud formation happens most often in the fall and winter. Can entirely block out the sun.
What are Stratus clouds
500
This happens when liquid precipitation freezes before hitting the ground.
What is Sleet?
500
This is the amount of water vapor in the air in relation to how much water vapor that air can hold.
What is relative humidity?
