Q2 What are the major forms of precipitation? Compare the forms of precipitation. How are they alike? Different? Compare water and air. How are they alike? Different?
Condensed water falling from clouds Rain: Condensed water falling from clouds
Snow: Water vapor that freezes slowly to form crystals
Sleet: water in liquid state that freezes as it nears the earth
Freezing Rain: liquid water that freezes when it touches an object
Hail: solid state of water that freezes as a process of rising & falling in a storm
Rain, snow,, sleet, freezing rain, hail?
Fluids: Take the shape of their container
What would happen if you put a water balloon in the freezer? What would happen if you put a balloon filled with air in the freezer?
Ahhhh....I remember this!
Layers of atmosphere (From the top) Thermosphere: *temperature, decreases as you get closer to Earth * pressure increases closer to Earth
thermosphere: Not as many molecules on top of it = LOWER AIR PRESSURE Further away from ground = GREATER TEMPERATURE (no protection from Sun) Largest layer Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)
Layers of atmosphere Mesosphere: Temperature is coldest near the top but gets warmer closer to Earth
Mesosphere: Temperature starts warm but decreases to the coldest of atmosphere= -90 Celsius Meteorites disintegrate here
*Temperature stays close to the same Layers of atmosphere Stratosphere: *Temperature stays close to the same * halfway; Ozone layer
stratosphere Ozone is here! Temperature top 2/3 is coldest Ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation which provides heat Ozone is here!
Layers of atmosphere Troposphere: Bottom layer; Weather occurs here; Temp increases closer to Earth
Gradually cools with height troposphere Nearest the ground Gradually cools with height Greatest pressure Varies in thickness Weather occurs here Airplanes fly here
