Rainfall Types. 3 Main Types There are three common types of rainfall, all of which occur in the United Kingdom. All have the common theme of air being.

CONVECTIONAL This type os rainfall is characteristic of hot climates The Sun heats the ground and water evapores As water vapour rises, it cools When.

Elevation It gets colder the higher in elevation you go. As air rises, it expands because of lower air pressure. As the air expands, it cools. When air.

Water in the Air When water drops form on a cold glass, the water comes from the air around the glass. Water vapor is water in the form of a gas. The amount.

Humidity and Condensation After completing this section, students will compare the physical characteristics of the three states of water (Standard PI –

Condensation. Atmospheric moisture has its most direct influence on land only when it is in its condensed form. Condensation is the direct cause of precipitation.

What is Fog? Fog is essentially a dense cloud of water droplets, or cloud, that is close to the ground. Fog forms when warm, moist air travels over a cold.

Clouds. The Recipe Clouds need three things to form –Moisture –Cooling air to it’s Dew Point (condensation) –Condensation Nuclei (dust, smoke)

Atmospheric Stability, Clouds and Lapse Rates. Hot Air Rises or

Dew Point The temperature that the air needs to be cooled to reach saturation (100% humidity) Cooling the air below the dew point causes the water vapor.

Clouds. Cloud Formation Clouds form as warm air rises and cools to its dew point Condensation nuclei (small particles of dust, salt in air) must be present.
