| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| rain that is more acidic than normal due to pollution | acid rain |
| force of air molecules pushing on area | air pressure |
| outer layer of gasses in large body of space mixture of gases that surround earth | atmosphere |
| instrument used to measure air pressure in atmosphere | barometer |
| influence of earths rotation on objects that move over earth | coriolis effect |
| tempurature which air with a given amount of water vapor will reach saturation | dew point |
| process wich a substance changes from a liquid to gas by random particle movement | evaporation |
| rain that freezes when it hits the ground of a surface and covers it with ice | freezing rain |
| winds that travel long distances in steady patterns over several weeks | global winds |
| lumps or balls of ice that fall from big clouds | hail |
| amount of water vapor in the air | humitity |
| wind that flows in upper troposphere from west to east over vast distances very fast | jet streams |
| winds that change direction with the seasons | monsoons |
| any type of liquid or solid that falls to earths surface such as rain snow or hail | precipitation |
| comparison of amount of water vapor in air with maximum amount of water vapor there can be in air at that tempurature | relative humitity |
| condition of earths atmosphere in which the rates of evaporation and condensation are equal | saturation |
| small pellets of ice that form when rain passes through a layer of cold air and freezes before hitting the ground | sleet |
| the condition of earths atmosphere at a particular time and place | weather |
| horizontal movement of air caused by differences in air pressure | wind |
| what is the water cycle? | water evaporates water vapor condenses water falls to earths surface |
| clouds that form at high altitudes, whispy feathery apperence, and a sign that a storm is approaching | cirrus clouds |
| puffy white clouds with dark base, and forms when warm air rises and water vapor condenses | cumulus clouds |
| make whole sky look grey, form in layers when air cools over a large area without rising, low types produce light rain | stratus clouds |
| cloud that rests on ground or on body of water at daytime, smooth apperence, forms when surface is colder than air | fog |
