AB
Air pressureI'm the force of air molecules pushing on an area.
DensityA measure of the amount of matter packed into a unit volume
MassThe amount of matter in an object
BarometerI'm any instrument that measures air pressure.
WeatherI'm the condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place.
WindI'm the horizontal movement of air.
Global windI travel thousands of kilometers in steady patterns.
Coriolis effectI'm the influence of Earth's rotation, causing winds that travel a long distance to curve.
Jet streamI usually flow in the upper troposphere from west to east for thousands of kilometers.
MonsoonI'm wind that changes direction with the seasons.
EvaporationI'm the process by which liquid changes into gas.
CondensationI'm the process by which a gas changes into a liquid.
PrecipitationI'm any type of liquid or solid water that falls to Earth's surface.
HumidityI'm the amount of water vapor in the air.
SaturationI'm the point at which the rates of evaporation and condensation are equal.
Relative humidityI tell us how close air is to saturation
Dew PointI'm the temperature at which air reaches saturation.
Acid rainI'm rain that is affected by pollution and harms trees and lakes.
HailI'm the lumps or balls of ice that fall from
SleetI'm the small pellets of ice that form when rain passes through a layer of cold air.
Freezing RainI'm the raindrops that cover surfaces with a coating of ice.
Air pressureThe force of air molecules pushing on an area
Barometerany instrument that measures air pressure
WeatherThe condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place
WindAir that moves horizontally, or parallel to the ground.
Global WindsTravel thousands of kilometers in steady patterns
Coriolis EffectThe influence of Earth's rotation
Jet StreamA wind that flows in the upper trophosphere from west to east over vast distances at great speeds
MonsoonsA wind that changes direction with the seasons
EvaporationA process by which a liquid changes into a gas
CondensationA process by which a gas changes into a liquid
PrecipitationAny type of liquid or solid water that falls to Earth's surface
HumidityThe amount of water vapor in air
SaturationA condition of the atmosphere in which the rates of evaporation and condensation are equal
Relative HumidityCompares the amount of water vapor in air with the maximum amount of water vapor that can be presented at that temperature
Dew PointThe temperature at which air with a given amount of water vapor will reach saturation
Acid RainRain that has become more acidic than normal due to pollution
