How does the water get back into the lake after the water cycle is finished
Surface runoff
100
What is the wispy cloud?
It is cirrus
100
What is a large cyclone that mostly hits in the northern states of the U.S.A and city's? (Like Dundee MI)?
A tornado
100
What is a cold front?
The boundary of an advancing mass of cold air, in particular the trailing edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system
100
What is a stratus cloud?
It is low and dark
200
How does the water cycle start out with? (what is the first step?)
Evaporation from oceans, lakes and streams come up
200
What are rippled clouds?
It is cirrocumulus
200
What is lightning?
Negatively charged electricity that is caused when ice and water particles separate.
200
What is a warm front?
The boundary of an advancing mass of warm air, in particular the leading edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.
200
What is a air mass?
Air mass is a body of air with horizontally uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure.
300
What are some types of precipitation?
rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.
300
What are the global clouds?
It is cumulus clouds
300
What is a thunderstorm?
Thunderstorms happen when warm air gathers large amounts of water all day, then cold air comes and causes a rapid change in temperature. This causes the air to lose water violently causing a downpour
300
What are stationary fronts?
A stationary front is a boundary between two different air masses, neither of which is strong enough to replace the other. On a weather map, this is shown by an inter-playing series of blue spikes pointing one direction and red domes pointing another direction
300
What is temperature?
The average amount of kinetic energy in an object. It’s measured with a thermometer. Temperature has three main measurements, those are Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.
400
What happens during the middle of condensation and precipitation?
What happens during the middle of condensation and precipitation?The evaporation of plants rise
400
What are the large and dark clouds?
They are the Stratocumulus clouds
400
What is a hurricane?
A hurricane is formed when warm air and cold air mix.The warm air and the cold air makes a high and low pressure system. This makes a large spinning mass of air, then it sucks up water from the ocean. This is how hurricanes form.
400
What is occlude fronts?
a composite front produced by occlusion.
400
What is Density?
Density is how closely packed something is. Density is mass divided by volume. Density of a solid is measured in grams per cubic centimeter or other variants. Density of a liquid is measured in grams per milliliter or other variants.
500
How long does it take to go through the water cycle of a lake?
It takes roughly 100 years
500
What is a cumulonimbus cloud?
A dark cloud of great vertical extent charged with electricity; associated with thunderstorms
500
what is a tsunami?
A large vertical wave that is caused when the two plates rub and push upward.(mostly caused out of country
500
What are fronts
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
500
Why do clouds look the way they do?
A big hunk of air rises and it expands and cools. Then the water vapor condenses and the cloud takes it’s shape
