|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| air mass | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the force exerted by air, whether compressed or unconfined, on any surface in contact with it
🗑
|
||||
| show | the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet
🗑
|
||||
| show | wispy clouds made of ice crystals
🗑
|
||||
| cold front | show 🗑
|
||||
| condensation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material
🗑
|
||||
| show | the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat
🗑
|
||||

|
||||
| dew point | show 🗑
|

|
||||
| exosphere | show 🗑
|
||||
| front | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | wind systems that are a product of the Coriolis Effect; occurring globally at or near Earth's surface
🗑
|
||||
| greenhouse effect | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the energy that is transferred between objects that are at different temperatures
🗑
|
||||
| show | an area of high air pressure where air slowly sinks down, spreading toward areas of low pressure
🗑
|
||||
| show | a belt of calm air and sea occurring in both the northern and southern hemispheres between the trade winds and the westerlies.
🗑
|
||||
| humidity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the layer of the earth's atmosphere that contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons and is able to reflect radio waves.; lower layer of the thermosphere
🗑
|
||||
| jet stream | show 🗑
|
||||
| land breeze | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the movement of air over short distances
🗑
|
||||

||||
| mesosphere | show 🗑
|
||||
| mountain breeze | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a warm and cold front mixed together
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| polar easterlies | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | any form of water that falls to earth's surface from the clouds
🗑
|
||||
| show | the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves
🗑
|
||||
| relative humidity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the draining away of water (or substances carried in it) from the surface of an area of land, a building or structure, etc.
🗑
|
||||
| sea breeze | show 🗑
|
||||

|
||||
| show | the lowest layer of the atmosphere where all weather occurs
🗑
|
||||
| valley breeze | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Fronts that form when/where warm air moves over cold air
🗑
|
||||
| weather | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | global winds that blow between 30 and 60 degrees; tend to curve east
🗑
|
||||
| show | the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
🗑
