Question
Answer
1. weather   the atmospheric conditions, along with short-term changes, of a certain place at a certain time.  
🗑
2. air pressure   the pressure that a column of air exerts on the air, or surface, below it is air pressure.  
🗑
3. relative humidity   the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air could contain at that temperature.  
🗑
4. dew point   the temperature at which air is fully saturated because of decreasing temperatures while holding the amount of moisture constant.  
🗑
5. precipitation   water, in liquid or solid form, that falls from the atmosphere.  
🗑
6. water cycle   the series of natural processes in which water continually moves among oceans, land, and and the atmosphere.  
🗑
1. what are two variables used to describe weather?   temperature and rainfall  
🗑
2. what are some of the variety of atmospheric conditions?   temperature, air pressure, wind speed and direction, humidity, cloud coverage, and precipitation  
🗑
3. what is the average kinetic energy of molecules in the air?   air temperature  
🗑
4. if air pressure decreases, what happens to the altitude?   increases  
🗑
5. what does barometric pressure mean?   air pressure  
🗑
6. what happens when areas of high pressure air moves to areas of low pressure?   wind  
🗑
7. when the humidity is high, is there more or less water vapor in the air?   more  
🗑
8. can warm air contain more or less water vapor than cold air?   more  
🗑
9. when the air near the ground becomes saturated, the water vapor condenses into what?   liquid  
🗑
10. when the temperature decreases, the air can hold more or less moisture?   less  
🗑
11. what is a cloud that forms near earth's surface?   fog  
🗑
12. do clouds absorb or reflect some of earth's incoming radiation?   reflect  
🗑
13. what can droplets in clouds form around in the atmosphere?   dust, salt, or smoke  
🗑
14. other than precipitation, what are two other important processes in the water cycle?   evaporation and condensation  
🗑
15. water vapor cools and rises in the atmosphere and condenses back into what?   liquid  
🗑
1. what are types of precipitation that are solid? (7.1)   sleet, hail, and snow  
🗑
2. what is precipitation in liquid form? (7.1)   rain  
🗑
3. what are the types of acid precipitation? (6.4)   acid rain, snow, and fog  
🗑
4. what is water vapor? (6.1)   water in gaseous form  
🗑
5. what is the difference between acid precipitation and normal rainwater? (6.4)   acid precipitation has a lower pH than that of normal rainwater  
🗑
