elements of weather
air mass and fronts
100
A collection of small water droplets or ice crystals that are suspended in air.
What is a cloud?
100
When a cool air mass is more dense than a warn air mass.
What is a front?
100
is the condition of the earths atmosphere at a place in an certain time.
What is weather
100
The amount of water vapor in the air.
What is humidity?
100
A large body of air with the same temperature and moisture.
What is an air mass?
200
It is the temperature at which the rate of which it condensing equals the rate of evaporation.
What is the dew point?
200
Yes.
Can fronts change the weather?
200
refers to the height of an area above sea level
What is elevation
200
any form of water that falls to the ground from clouds
What is precipitation?
200
A front.
What forms when 2 air masses collide?
300
It is when water vapors condensing close to earth and ground.
What is fog?
300
It is a body of air with horizontally uniform temperatures, humidity and pressure.
What is an air mass?
300
It is the angular distance in degrees north and south of the equator.
What is latitude?
300
The measure of transparency of the air.
What is visibility?
300
A cold front.
When a cold air mass crashes into a warm air mass, what kind of front is formed?
400
It rains.
What happens when there is too much ice crystals or water droplets in the cloud?
400
Long distant winds that travel above global winds and go very fast.
What is a jet stream?
400
10 degrees C
What is the average temperature of the polar regions?
400
The point at which more condensation than evaporation occurs.
What is the dew point?
400
yes - as long as the conditions are right (there's a cold front and a warm front colliding)
Can a front form at any time?
500
Yes, because it blocks the sun and the clouds change the temperature.
Do clouds effect temperatures on earth?
500
92 KM an hour.
How fast do jet steams go?
500
Polar, Temperate, and Tropical
What are the climate zones?
500
No.
Can you feel air pressure?
500
Yes
Does a cold front have heavy rain and snow?
