Air Parcel
What happens when and air parcel loses more energy and cools?
More rainfall can occur.
What procces happens after evaporation?
Condensation
What direction does energy transfer from?
Hot to cold
What is warmest at the surface and coldest at the highest point?
The trophopshere.
What is air moving from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure?
When does an air parcel stop rising?
When the surronding air and parcel have reached the same temperature.
Do all the places around the world get the same amount of rain?
What happens when an air parcel starts with more energy?
The air parcel will rise until the surronding air reaches equillibrium.
How can air parcel be pushed?
They can be pushed by wind.
Does warm air rise or fall?
It rises
How will the air parcel rise?
If the surronding air is higher.
What characteristics contribute to more severe storms?
Wind, warmer temperture, and more available surface water.
Does more available surface water contribute to more severe rainfall?
Yes.
How does the air parcel lose energy while it moves through the trophoshere?
The higher it moves the more energy it loses until it reaches the same temperature as the surronding air.
Does cold air rise or fall?
It falls.
When does the air parcel stop transferring energy?
When the air parcel and surronding air reach equillibrium.
How do clouds form?
When an air parcel cools it can condense into liquid water which can form a cloud.
Parcels rise off the ground with hot air causing what?
Causing the transfer of energy.
Does more energy tarnsfer happen when the air parcel moves up higher in the trophoshere?
Yes, the temperture of the air parcel was much higher than the surronding air causing much more enrgy transfer to happen as the parcel rose higher in the trophoshpere.
What happens when water vapor cools?
It becomes liquid water and clouds form.
If the air parcel starts at a higher temperature will it lose or gain energy?
It will lose energy.
Is condensation and important part of a making of a cloud?
Yes because then it would still be water vapor.
The energy that transfer out of an air parcel orginally comes from what?
It comes from the sun
What is the trophoshere?
It is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere.
Does warm weather affect the amount of rain?
Yes, it causes more evaporation.
