Question | Answer |
---|---|
why does more rain form over west ferris than east ferris | more water vapor is forming on the west side, water evporates and wind blows it to the mountain as it gets colder it soons turns into water and falls down as rain by the time it reaches the top there is very little water left for east side |
where in the atmosphere does water vapor collect | high up where the temperature is cold |
when liquid water evaporates, water molecules do not ___________ they change to __________ | disappear and water vapor |
when wind blows toward a mountain, the mountain can direct the wind __________ | upward |
what are the two factors we discussed that affect the movement of water vapor in the atmosphere | wind and mountain size |
when liquid falls as rain there is _______ water left in the atmosphere | less |
what in the rain shadow 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 atmosphere hitting a mountain and changing direction is and example of what two spheres | hydrosphere and atmosphere |
what are the 4 spheres in the earths system | atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, geosphere |
geosphere- | all the rock and soil on earth |
biosphere- | all living things on earth |
hydrosphere- | all of water on earth |
water vapor- | water in the form of invisible gas |
condensation | when gas turns into a liquid |
molecule | a group of atoms joined together in a particular way |
evaporation | when a liquid turns into a gas |
system | a group of parts that work together |
