| What is humidity? How does the holding capacity of the air change as temp increases? | Amt. water vapor in the air ----------------------- Amt it can hold |
| What happens to the air when it reaches the dew point? | It becomes saturated, condensation occurs |
| ***Know the RH Chart | |
| *** Remember how to draw the Sea and Land Breezes*** | |
| What does the Coriolis cause? | causes wind to bend to right due to rotation of the earth |
| Lightning heats up air | |
| ***Know the sky conditions, wind direction, and the wind speed | |
| Lightning heats up the air and creates ______________ because the air expands. | a vacuum |
| Tornadoes and hurricanes are both ______________ pressure systems, rotate _______________. | Low Counterclockwise |
| How is pressure related to wind speed? | the lower the pressure, the higher the wind speed |
| how is a tornado watch different from a warning? | A watch might happen and a warning means that the tornado is already in the county. |
| How is a hurricane warning different from a watch? | warning means will get hurricane force within 24 hrs watch means that there is a possibility of hurricane force winds (74+) |

| A storm is approaching. What would you do? Hurricane | Stay INSIDE of the house |
| A storm is approaching. What would you do? Thunderstorm- outside in a field | stay as close to the ground as possible |
| What is the relationship between gravity, mass, and distance | Distance of 1 object to another has higher gravity & and more mass= more gravity |
| Why is summer warmer than winter | the tilt of earths axis, N Hem tilted toward the sun |
