Moisture & Temp

TermDefinition
Absolute Humidity The TOTAL amount of moisture in the air, measured in grams of water vapor per kilogram of air
Relative Humidity The percent of moisture in the air compared with how much moisture it can hold
Wet Bulb The temperature of the air compared to how much moisture there is
Dry Bulb The regular temperature you see all the time
Saturated The air is holding as much moisture as it can
Dew Point The temperature at which water vapor in the air will condense onto surfaces
Radiation Cooling Earth’s Surface absorbs light from the sun throughout the day, heating the Earth and the atmosphere. At night, that heat is radiated from the Earth, which means the Earth loses heat and gets colder.
Contact Cooling When air comes into contact with cooler surfaces, it cools
Adiabatic Cooling As air rises, it expands. As air expands, air pressure decreases and air temperature also decreases.
Orographic Lifting mountains force air upwards, cooling it
Frontal Wedging where one air masses pushes another up
Convection-Convergence warm air rises as it expands

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

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.
