Weather Patterns
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Conditions such as rain, clouds, and wind at a particular time and place. | Weather (1.2) |
The process by which a gas changes into a liquid. | Condensation (1.2) |
The process by which a liquid changes into a gas. | Evaporation (1.2) |
An amount of air that moves as a unit. | Air Parcel (1.3) |
The ability to make things move or change. | Energy (1.3) |
A measure of how hot or cold something is. | Temperature (1.3) |
Water as a gas. | Water Vapor (1.3) |
Liquid water droplets suspended in the air. | Cloud (1.4) |
The layer of atmosphere closest to Earth, where weather happens. | Troposphere (2.1) |
Evaporation happens when a substance... | Warms up |
Condensation happens when a substance... | Cools down |
What two things happen as a result of an air parcel being warmer than normal? | 1.) More water will evaporate into water vapor in the air parcel 2.) The air parcel will rise higher into the troposphere. |
What happens when an air parcel rises higher in the troposphere? | It will cool down more and transfer more energy out; the higher it rises the colder the surrounding air in the troposphere. |
How does energy transfer? | From hot to cold |
When does an air parcel stop rising? | When an air parcel is the same temperature as the surrounding air. |
A cloud is made of ______________ ______________ _________________ suspended in the air. | Liquid water droplets |
