19. What is the NE tradewinds? Back

20. This allows for air circulation, water circulation and is seen in the mantle with magma transport. Back

21. What are convection currents? Back

22. What happens when the temperature of air decreases to the dew point or below the dew point. Back

23. Air temperature drops and condensation increases Back

24. Theses are three things needed to create a cloud.

25. What are condensation nuclei, water droplets and pressure? Back

26. The process by which gas changes to a liquid. Would heat be absorbed or released? Back

27. What is condensation? Heat is released Back

28. This is the instrument used to record relative humidity.

29. What is a psychrometer? Back

30. Heat energy that is absorbed or released by a substance during a phase change. Back

31. What is latent heat? Back

32. These are the four types of fog. Back

33. Radiation, advection, steam and slope? Back

34. Changes in temperature due to the expansion or compression of air. Back

35. What is adiabatic temperature change? Back

36. This is a description of contrails. Back

37. What are clouds created by the temperature change of an airplane exhaust meeting and condensing with cool air? Back

38. These clouds are characteristic of storms are found in cold fronts.

39. What are cumulonimbus clouds? Back

40. These are the three types of clouds. Back

41. What are cumulus, stratus and cirrus? Back

42. Describe the difference between a cyclone and anticyclone. You can use a picture. Back

43. Cyclone- stationary and cold fronts, upward, counterclockwise rotation around a low pressure center. (rainy) Anticyclone- sinks and rotates in a clockwise direction around a high pressure center. (clear & dry) Back

44. Two main types of fronts and their weather conditions. Back

45. What are cold and warm fronts? Cold front- cold air uplifts warm air creating cold temperature and storms Warm front- warm air overtakes cold creating warm temperature and a sheet of clouds. Back

46. This is the definition of an air mass and how they are classified. Back

47. What is a large body of air with uniform temperature and humidity? They are classified according to the region they are found in. Back

48. Define Front

49. What is a boundary between a dense cool air mass and a warm less dense air mass? Back

50. These are instruments for collecting temperature and wind speed. Back

51. What are a thermometer and an anemometer? Back

52. These are land and sea breezes. Draw a picture and explain. Back X Y

53. Sea breeze- warm air from land rises and cool air from sea replaces it. Land breeze- warm air from sea rises and cool air from land replaces it. Back

54. Describe the electromagnetic spectrum and the wavelengths associated with each side. Back

55. Long waves- microwave, radio, infrared Located in the troposphere. Short waves- UV, X-ray and gamma Usually broken down in the mesosphere Back
