2.  When air is compacted, or is allowed to grow
 When it grows, its cools; and when it
compacts, it heats
 Every 1000 meters from the surface of the
ground, the temperature is decreased by10
degrees
Altitude goes
up, and
temperature goes
down.

3.  Mountains act like a shield to prevent air
flow. This explains how the leeward side is
cooler than the windward side
 Air moisture gets decreased as it reaches
the leeward side making it dry

4.  Hot air and cool air mix together causing a
Front
 The cold air acts like a wall when warmer
air is introduced

5.  When both winds meet each other and rise
into the atmosphere forming clouds
 This results in random thunderstorms in
the afternoon

6.  When warm pockets of air causes you to
maybe feel warmer as you go through
them
 Also clouds may form ending u in a
thunderstorm

7.  When less dense air rises to the point
where it can't any higher, like a hot air
balloon
 You can tell when a thunderstorm is
coming if you see big high clouds in the
atmosphere

8.  When water vapor changes into liquid
 Examples are fog, dew, and clouds

 Cirrus, Cumulus, and Stratus

ml Cloud Types!

10.  Three clouds make up the high cloud family
the high clouds reach as low as 6000 meters
 The tree are, Cirrus, Cirrostratus, and
Cirrocumulus

11.  Clouds that appear from 2000 to 6000
meters
 They look like Cirrocumulus clouds, but
they’re bigger because they form down to
them

12.  Clouds include the
Stratus, Stratocumulus, and Nimbostratus
 These clouds form around
mountains, fronts, or any winds
 Also can be known as fog or sometimes
rain clouds

13.  When some clouds don’t fit into the
high, middle, and low classes
 Some appear over lakes as an example

precipitation in them, it begins to rain

17. Rain-
 A droplet of rain has a diameter of .5mm
Snow-
 Snow fall starts to melt when the
temperature reaches 4˚C
 And when the temperature is above -
5˚C, snow begins to clump together

18.  Sleet is rain that gets really cold
 Hail is ice crystals that freeze and join on
the way down
 Glaze is rain that freezes when it hits the
ground
