Weather Assessment REVIEW [HHCooksey/Jackson]

Front

What happens to cold air compared to the surrounding air?

Back

Cold air falls because it is more dense than the air around it.

Front

What causes rainfall when the amount of water vapor in the air is the same?

Back

The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it lost energy.

Front

What happens to air pressure as warm air rises?

Back

Air pressure decreases.

Front

What role does gravity play in the process of rain falling from the sky?

Back

Gravity pulls water back to Earth as precipitation.

Front

What is the main reason for the occurrence of rainfall?

Back

Condensation of water vapor.

Front

Define evaporation in the context of the water cycle.

Back

Evaporation is the process where liquid water turns into water vapor.

Front

What is condensation in the water cycle?

Back

Condensation is the process where water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water.

Front

Explain the term 'precipitation'.

Back

Precipitation is any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and air density?

Back

Warm air is less dense than cold air.

Front

How does energy transfer affect weather patterns?

Back

Energy transfer can cause changes in temperature and pressure, leading to different weather conditions.
