As water vapor particles are carried hire they begin to lose heat energy and become
Colder
1
As they become cold or they lose speed and come
Closer together
2
The particles condense around tiny particles of dust to form clouds when
They are slow down
3
What eventually forms when the water vapor in the atmosphere condenses around tiny particles of dust
Clouds
4
The appearance of a cloud depends on
How Hyatt forms in the atmosphere and what temperature is there
5
What kinds of clouds form at the highest altitude and if your wispy and fudge the fuzzy edges
Cirrus
6
As water vapor condenses and collides, the droplets become very
Dance and sunlight is not allowed to pass through
7
Dense clouds make clouds look
Heavy and dark
8
What kind of clouds are puffy clouds that form at middle altitudes
Cumulus
9
What are clouds that are layered, warm at low altitude, and appear like blanket like layers
Stratus
10
Cloud the forms near the ground
Fog
11
When the air temperature is warm or above freezing water vapor changes into
Liquid precipitation and falls as rain
12
What forms and severe thunderstorm clouds when raindrops collide with bits of ice
Hail
13
What forms one raindrops fall through layer very cold air near the ground
Sleet
14
What forms when the temperature is cold that the water vapor turns directly into a solid
Snow
15
Rain is measured using what
Rain gauge
16
Rain gauge is a container that has the skill marked on it in
Centimeters or inches
17
What is measured by pushing a meter stick or yardsticks for the ground
Snow snow
18
What is the condition of the troposphere at a given play sometime
Weather
19
What is a large region of air that has a similar temperature and humidity
Airmass
20
And air mass that forms above a warm area of water will be
Warm and humid
21
And air mass that forms over a cold area of land will be
Cold and dry
22
Boundary between two air masses is a
The front
23
What a cold air mass runs into a warm air mass the dense heavy cold air
Sinks and pushes up the lighter warm air
24
A boundary between two different air masses were neither one is strong enough to replace the other
Stationary front
25
Ohio today when caused by large temperature differences in air masses
Jetstream
26
Almost all weather fronts in North America move from
West to east
27
A low-pressure system brings
Warm and rainy weather
28
A high-pressure system usually
Dry and clear weather
29
