Why does more rain forms over west ferris than east ferris. | More rain forms over West Ferris than east ferris because more water vapor is condensing into liquid on the west side . The water evaporates from ocean and the wind blows it toward the mountain |
Where in the atomsphere does water vapor condense? | High up where the temperature is cold. |
When liquid water evaporates, water molecules do not disappear,. | they change to water vapor. |
What are the two factors we discussed that affect the movement of water vapor. | wind and mountain size |
When liquid water falls as rain, | There is less water left on the atomsphere. |
What is the rain show effect? | The uneven pattern of rain that occurs when wind blows from a body of water towards a mountain and creates a lot of rain on the windward side of the mountain and very little on the opposite side. |
Water vapor in the atomsphere hitting a mountain and changing direction is an example of what two spheres interacting? | Hydrosphere and Geosphere . |
What are the 4 spheres in Earths system? | Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere. |
Geosphere | all of the rock and soil on Earth. |
Biosphere | all living things on Earth |
Hydrosphere | All of the water on earth |
water vapor | water in the form of invisible gas. |
condenstion | when a gas turns into a liquid. |
molecule | a group of atoms joined together in a particular way. |
evaporation | when a liquid turns into a liquid gas |
system | A group of parts that work together. |
