More surface water (larger body of water) =

more water vapor and larger storm

Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why? Air Parcel 1 is the same temperature as the surrounding air. Air parcel 2 is warmer than the surrounding air. Both started with the same amount of water vapor.

Air Parcel 2 will lose energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

How does wind effect a rain storm?

Wind pushes the air parcel even higher in the troposphere and loses more energy.

Which air parcel will have more rainfall? Options: An air parcel with a temperature of 30 C and the surrounding temperature -30 C, An air parcel with a temperature of 25 C and the surrounding temperature -30 C, An air parcel with a temperature of 15 C and the surrounding temperature -30 C

An air parcel with a temperature of 30 C and the surrounding temperature -30 C

When does an air parcel produce rain?

When the air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air, so it lost energy.

Which storm in New York City last month is likely to have had more rainfall? Consider the temperatures: Storm 1 at 31°C and Storm 2 at 25°C.

Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.

What conditions could have caused Storm 1 to have more rainfall than Storm 2? Before Storm 1, Rochelle could have been: warmer than before Storm 2 and windy, cooler than before Storm 2 and windy.

warmer than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.

Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why? Air Parcel 1 is the same temperature as the surrounding air. Air parcel 2 is warmer than the surrounding air. Both started with the same amount of water vapor.

Air Parcel 2 will lose energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

Which storm likely had more rainfall in Rome last month? (Storm 1: 21°C, Storm 2: 29°C)

Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.

What could have caused Storm 2 to have more rainfall than Storm 1? Before Storm 2, Jamestown could have been: cooler than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed the cooler air parcel even higher and the air parcel gained more energy. cooler than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind caused the cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the cooler air parcel at the surface to lose more energy. warmer than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel. warmer than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.

warmer than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.

Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why? Air Parcel 1 is warmer than the surrounding air. Air Parcel 2 is at the same temperature as the surrounding air. Both started with the same amount of water vapor.

Air Parcel 1 will lose more energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

What could explain why Storm 2 had more rainfall than Storm 1? Before Storm 2, the air parcel at the surface could have been: cooler, so when the air parcel moved higher, it gained more energy; cooler, so the air parcel had low energy and remained near the surface; warmer, so when cooler air from above moved down, it lost more energy; warmer, so when the air parcel moved higher, it lost more energy.

warmer, so when the air parcel moved higher, it lost more energy.

Which storm likely had more rainfall?

Storm 1. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.

The air temperature of Syracuse is higher than the air temperature of Binghamton. What is the main cause for the different air temperatures?

More energy from the sun is transferred to the ground in Syracuse than in Binghamton, and that energy transferred to the air above it.

This image shows two different cities that are both located near a body of water. Which city will experience more rainfall and why?

Powell City will experience more rainfall because there is a large amount of surface water.

What could have happened with the air parcel on Day 2 to cause rainfall?

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

What happens to water vapor when the Sun heats the Earth's water and it rises into the atmosphere?

The water vapor condenses as it cools, then it forms clouds. It later returns to the Earth as precipitation.

The more energy an air parcel loses = ________________ = bigger storm

higher the air parcel will rise into the troposphere
