latent heat heat energy that is absorbed or realsed by the substance during a phase change

dew point at constant pressure and water vapor content, the temperature at which the rate of condensation equals the rate of evaporation
absolute the mass of water vapor per unit volume of air that contains the water vapor; usually expressed as grams of water vapor per cubic meter of air
relative humidty the ratio of the amount of water vapor in the air to the amount of water vapor needed to reach saturation at a given temperature
cloud a collection of small water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air, which forms when the air is cooled and condensation occurs
condensation nucleus a solid particle in the atmosphere that provides the surface on which water vapor condenses
adiabitic cooling the process by which the temperature of an air mass decreases as the air mass rises and expands
advective cooling the process by which the temperature of an air mass decreases as the air mass moves over a cold surface
stratus cloud a gray cloud that has a flat, uniform base and that commonly forms at very low altitudes
cumulus cloud a low-level, billowy cloud that commonly has a top that resembles cotton balls and a dark bottom

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
