Wea/Water Cycle Sp

weather, water cycle, and climate vocabulary english/spanish

TermDefinition
Air pressure/ Presión atmosférica A force exerted on a surface from the weight of the air in the atmosphere. / Fuerza ejercida sobre una superficie por el peso del aire en la atmósfera.
Climate zone / Zona climática An area that has similar average temperatures and precipitation throughout; includes polar, temperate and tropical zones / Un área que tiene temperaturas y precipitaciones promedio similares en todas partes; incluye zonas polares, templadas y tropicales
Climate / Clima: The average pattern of weather that occurs in certain locations over many years. / El patrón promedio de tiempo que ocurre en ciertos lugares durante muchos años.
Collection/Runoff Recolección/Escorrentía precipitation gathers back into bodies of water / la precipitación se acumula nuevamente en los cuerpos de agua.
Condensation / Condensación The process by which a gas is converted to a liquid / El proceso por el cual un gas se convierte en un líquido
Evaporation / Evaporación: The process by which a liquid is converted to a gas by heating the liquid / El proceso por el cual un líquido se convierte en gas al calentar el líquido
Equator / Ecuador An imaginary line drawn around the earth equally in the middle, divides the earth into north and south / Una línea imaginaria dibujada alrededor de la tierra por igual en el medio, divide la tierra en norte y sur
Hail / Granizo Pellets or chunks of frozen rain / Perdigones o trozos de lluvia congelada.
Humidity / Humedad The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, usually expressed as either absolute humidity or relative humidity / La cantidad de vapor de agua en la atmósfera, generalmente expresada como humedad absoluta o humedad relativa
Latitude / Latitud A measure of relative position north or south on the Earth's surface/ Una medida de la posición relativa al norte o al sur en la superficie de la Tierra, medida en grados desde el ecuador
Polar zone / Zona polar A climate zone characterized by very little precipitation and extremely cold temperatures / Una zona climática caracterizada por muy poca precipitación y temperaturas extremadamente frías.
Precipitation / Precipitación Water that falls from the air to the Earth's surface in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail / Agua que cae del aire a la superficie de la Tierra en forma de lluvia, nieve, aguanieve o granizo.
Rain / Lluvia liquid precipitation (water that falls to the earth) / precipitación líquida (agua que cae a la tierra)
Sleet / Aguanieve snow that melts and refreezes as it falls / nieve que se derrite y se vuelve a congelar al caer.
Snow frozen water that falls in small flakes / Agua congelada como nieve que cae en pequeños copos
State of Matter / Estado de la materia The form matter can take (e.g. solid, liquid, and gas) / La forma que puede tomar la materia (por ejemplo, sólido, líquido y gas)
Temperate zone / Zona templada A climate zone between the tropical and polar zones characterized by moderate temperatures / Una zona climática entre las zonas tropical y polar caracterizada por temperaturas moderadas.
Tropical zone / Zona tropical A climate zone near the equator characterized by warm temperatures / Una zona climática cerca del ecuador caracterizada por temperaturas cálidas
Water Cycle / Ciclo del agua The path water takes as it is being cycled through the process of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection / el camino que toma el agua a medida que pasa por el proceso de evaporación, condensación, precipitación y recolección.
Water Vapor / Vapor de agua The gas state of water / El estado gaseoso del agua.
Weather / Clima The condition of the atmosphere at a given time and place. / El estado de la atmósfera en un momento y lugar determinados.
