Weather Patterns mid-unit review

WHICH PARCEL WILL MAKE MORE RAIN?

• AIR PARCEL 1- IT WAS WARMER SO WHEN IT MOVED HIGHER IT LOST MORE ENERGY

• AIR PARCEL 1- IT WAS WARMER SO WHEN COOL AIR CAME FROM ABOVE IT LOST MORE ENERGY

• AIR PARCEL 2- IT WAS COOLER AND HAD LESS ENERGY SO IT STAYED AT THE SURFACE.

• AIR PARCEL 2- THE AIR PARCEL WAS COOLER SO WHEN IT MOVED HIGHER IS GAINED MORE ENERGY

WILL THIS AIR PARCEL LOSE ENERGY?

• YES, THE PARCEL WILL TRANSFER ENERGY TO THE SURROUNDING AIR.

• NO, THE TEMPERATURES ARE THE SAME SO ENERGY WILL NOT TRANSFER.

WHICH PARCEL WILL HAVE MORE RAIN?

• AIR PARCEL 1 WILL LOSE MORE ENERGY WHICH WILL CAUSE MORE RAIN.

• AIR PARCEL 1 WILL GAIN ENERGY FROM THE SURROUNDING AIR WHICH WILL CAUSE MORE RAIN.

• AIR PARCEL 2 IS COLDER SO MORE RAIN WILL FALL.

• BOTH AIR PARCELS WILL HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF RAIN.

IF THE SURROUNDING AIR TEMP IS THE SAME, WHICH AIR PARCEL WILL PRODUCE MORE RAIN?

• 14- IT IS COOLER SO WHEN IT MOVED HIGHER IT GAINED ENERGY.

• 14- IT IS COOLER SO IT HAD LOW ENERGY AND DID NOT MOVE HIGHER.

• 26- IT IS WARMER SO WHEN COOL AIR MOVED FROM ABOVE IT LOST MORE ENERGY.

• 26- IT IS WARMER SO WHEN IT MOVED HIGHER IT LOST MORE ENERGY.

WHAT CAUSES AIR PARCELS TO RISE HIGHER INTO THE AIR?

• WARM AIR PARCELS RISE BECAUSE IT IS ATTRACTED TO THE SUN.

• WARM AIR PARCELS RISE BECAUSE THE AIR IS LESS DENSE THAN THE SURROUNDING COOL AIR.

• WIND IN COOL AIR PARCELS PUSH IT UP.

• WARM AIR PARCELS DO NOT RISE.

HOW DOES CONDENSATION CREATE A CLOUD?

• AS AIR WARMS WATER VAPOR EVAPORATES INTO A CLOUD.

• AS AIR WARMS MORE LIQUID WATER BECOMES PRESENT.

• AS AIR COOLS IT LOSES ENERGY CAUSING WATER VAPOR TO CHANGE TO LIQUID WATER.

• AS AIR COOLS IT GAINS ENERGY WHICH CAUSES WATER VAPOR TO CHANGE TO LIQUID WATER.

AS YOU MOVE HIGHER INTO THE TROPOSPHERE THE TEMPERATURE GETS COLDER OR WARMER?

HOW DOES THE TEMPERATURE OF AN AIR PARCEL AFFECT ITS DENSITY?

• TEMPERATURE DOES NOT AFFECT DENSITY.

• WARMER AIR PARCELS ARE MORE DENSE.

• COOLER AIR PARCELS ARE LESS DENSE.

• WARMER AIR PARCELS ARE LESS DENSE.

WHICH AIR PARCEL WILL MOVE HIGHER INTO THE TROPOSPHERE?

• A IS LESS DENSE SO IT WILL RISE HIGHER.

• A IS MORE DENSE SO IT WILL RISE HIGHER.

• B IS LESS DENSE SO IT WILL RISE HIGHER.

• B IS MORE DENSE SO IT WILL RISE HIGHER.
