Dew Pointthe temperature at which condensation forms from saturated air
sleetrain drops that pass through a layer of freezing air near Earth's surface forming pellets
foga stratus cloud that forms near the ground
humiditythe amount of water vapor in the air
windair moving in a specific direction (moves from high pressure area to low pressure area)
relative humiditythe measurement of the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount needed for saturation at a specific temperature
weathera condition of the current state of the atmosphere
temperaturea measure of the average amount of motion of molecules
cloudsForm when warm air rises, expands and then cools
Types of Precipitationrain, snow, sleet, or hail
frontA boundary between two different air masses
pressureAtmospheric ___ is detrmined by the temperature and density of the air and the amount of water vapor in it.
precipitationStorms and ___ occur at fronts.
wind directionFronts always bring a change in ___ ___.
air massA lagre body of air with the same properties as Earth's surface under it.
isothermA line on a weather map connecting points of equal temperature.
isobarA line on a weather map connecting points of equal pressure.
percentageRelative humidy is expressed this way.
Dew Point/Air is SaturtedOn the sling psychrometer, when both thermometers are at the same temperature and no evaporation takes place this happens.
