|
||||
| An optical illusion | Mirage
🗑
|
||||
| The amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the amount it could hold | Relative humidity
🗑
|
||||
| Water cannot enter the atmosphere by | Condensation
🗑
|

🗑
|
||||
| Cloud that never produces rain | Cirrus
🗑
|

🗑
|
||||
| Forms of precipitation | Rain, snow, hail
🗑
|
||||
| Natural unpollued rainwater is | slightly acidic
🗑
|
||||
| Winds flowing from different directions that come together in a locality force air masses aloft. Cloud formation and storms are often the result. | Convergence
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| Liquid water below the freezing point | Supercooled water
🗑
|
||||
| Three basic cloud shapes | Stratus (flat), Cumulus (piles), Cirrus (wispy curls)
🗑
|
||||
| Top of the cumulonimbus cloud is often shaped like an | anvil
🗑
|
||||
| Raindrops form as large cloud droplets begin to fall and collect other cloud droplets in this process. | Coalescence
🗑
|
||||
| Most brief showers or thunderstorms that occur in the summertime are the result of | Convection
🗑
|
||||
| Three types of solid precipitation | Snow, sleet, hail
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: It is possible for liquid water and water vapor to exist at the same temperature | True
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: Water can evaporate without being warmer than its surroundings | True
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: The higher the temperature of the air, the more moisture it can hold. | True
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: Nimbus-type clouds often bring rain. | True
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: Drizzle is a form of freezing rain. | False
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: Low clouds cause a halo to appear around the sun or moon. | False
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: A mackeral sky is caused by altostratus clouds. | False
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: Dew forms when warm air cools below the freezing point. | False
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: The only acidic precipitation is acid rain. | False
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: All forms of precipitation result in some way from the cooling of a relatively warm, humid air mass. | True
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: God created the atmosphere on the second day of the Creation week. | True
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: The percentage of gases in the himosphere remain relatively constant. | True
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: The continuous mixing of cold and warm air occurs only in the troposhere. | True
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: The troposphere is the only atmospheric layer to have winds. | False
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: Since warm air rises, the troposphere is the coolest layer of the atmosphere. | False
🗑
|
||||
| T/F: Auroras occur when charged particles escape from the ionosphere into the magnetosphere. | False
🗑
|
||||
| The envelope of gases surrounding the earth | Atmosphere
