Water Cycle
100
This is where the water comes from to form a cloud.
What is it evaporates from a water source?
100
The transfer of energy from one place to another by contact.
What is conduction?
100
The amount of matter in an object is this.
What is mass?
100
The water vapor in the air.
What is humidity?
100
The process in which liquid water becomes water vapor.
What is evaporation?
200
This is how the water vapor become a cloud droplet.
What is water vapor cools and condenses on a nuclei (dust or pollen)?
200
Energy that is transmitted through space in the form of rays, waves, or particles.
What is radiation?
200
The amount of space that an object takes up is this.
What is volume?
200
The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor needed to saturate the air at a given temperature; expressed as a percentage.
What is relative humidity?
200
The process in which water vapor becomes liquid water.
What is condensation?
300
This is the point at which clouds form.
What is dew point?
300
Movement of a fluid, such as air, that transfers heat from one place to another.
What is convection?
300
This is the density of a substance that has a mass of 100g and a volume of 20 ml.
What is 5 g/ml?
300
An instrument used to measure relative humidity
What is hygrometer?
300
Rain, snow, sleet, dew, etc, formed by condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere.
What is precipitation?
400
This is where the radiant energy comes from that starts the cloud formation process.
What is the sun?
400
These are the two types of fluids.
What is liquids and gasses?
400
This is how to determine density.
What is D=M/V ?
400
This is the point in the sky where dew point is.
What is the base of the clouds?
400
The circuit of water movement from the oceans to the atmosphere to Earth’s surface and back to the atmosphere through various processes, such as precipitation, runoff, infiltration, storage, evaporation, and transportation.
What is the water cycle?
500
When dew point and air temperature are close together, this is what can be predicted about cloud cover.
What will be cloudy and potentially rainy?
500
This is the explanation of how convection works in the atmosphere, and how many large convection cells there are in the atmosphere.
What is warm air at the equator rises, moves along the top of the troposphere, cools, and sinks. There are 6 large convection cells on the planet.
500
Two substances have equal volume, one has a mass of 10g and the other has a mass of 20g, this is the denser substance.
What is the one with a mass of 20g?
500
When dew point and air temperature are close together, the air is considered this.
What is very humid, possibility of rain?
500
The passage of water through a plant from the roots through the vascular system to the atmosphere.
What is transpiration?
