vocab, 15 questions 7.1, and 5 questions(chapters 1-6)*relate to 7.1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| VOCAB 7.1: 1.)weather | is the atmospheric conditions, along with short-term changes, of a certain place at a certain time. |
| 2.)air pressure | the pressure that a column of air exerts on the air, or surface, below. |
| 3.)relative humidity | the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air could contain at that temperature. |
| 4.)dew point | is the temperature at which air is fully saturated because of decreasing temperatures while holding the amount of moisture constant. |
| 5.)precipitation | is water, in liquid or solid form, that falls from the atmosphere. |
| 6.)the water cycle | is the series of natural processes in which water continually moves among oceans, land, and the atmosphere. |
| 7.)humidity | the amount of water vapor in the air. |
