|
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | a body of air with horizontally uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure
🗑
|
||||
| show | the force exerted by air, whether compressed or unconfined, on any surface in contact with it
🗑
|
||||
| show | the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet
🗑
|
||||
| show | wispy clouds made of ice crystals
🗑
|
||||
| show | Fronts that form when/where cold air moves under warm air
🗑
|
||||
| condensation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material
🗑
|
||||
| show | the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat
🗑
|
||||
| Coriolis Effect | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a cloud forming rounded masses heaped on each other above a flat base at fairly low altitude.
🗑
|
||||
| dew point | show 🗑
|
||||
| Doldrums | show 🗑
|
||||
| evaporation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the outermost region of Earth's atmosphere; top half of thermosphere
🗑
|
||||
| front | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | wind systems that are a product of the Coriolis Effect; occurring globally at or near Earth's surface
🗑
|
||||
| show | the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.
🗑
|
||||
| heat | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | an area of high air pressure where air slowly sinks down, spreading toward areas of low pressure
🗑
|
||||
| horse latitudes | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the amount of water vapor in the air
🗑
|
||||
| show | the layer of the earth's atmosphere that contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons and is able to reflect radio waves.; lower layer of the thermosphere
🗑
|
||||
| show | narrow belts of high speed winds that blow from west to east
🗑
|
||||
| show | a breeze that blows toward the water from a piece of land; cooler air on land runs off the land toward the warm air on the water
🗑
|
||||
| local wind | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | an area of low air pressure where air rises; as it rises the air cools
🗑
|
||||
| mesosphere | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | when the air along the mountain slopes cools and sinks into the valley
🗑
|
||||
| occluded front | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a layer of ozone that is located in the middle of the stratosphere that protects us from harmful radiation
🗑
|
||||
| polar easterlies | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | any form of water that falls to earth's surface from the clouds
🗑
|
||||
| show | the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves
🗑
|
||||
| relative humidity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the draining away of water (or substances carried in it) from the surface of an area of land, a building or structure, etc.
🗑
|
||||
| show | a cool breeze coming off of a body of water; cooler air runs off water towards the warmer land
🗑
|
||||
| show | Fronts that form when cold and warm air stops moving; causes many days of unchanging weather
🗑
|
||||
| stratosphere | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | spread out clouds formed in flat layers; low stratus can cause rain and block out the sun
🗑
|
||||
| show | a measure of the average amount of kinetic energy of particles
🗑
|
||||
| thermal energy | show 🗑
|
||||
| thermal expansion | show 🗑
|
||||
| thermosphere | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | global winds that blow between 30 degrees and the equator; curve slightly west
🗑
|
||||
| show | the lowest layer of the atmosphere where all weather occurs
🗑
|
||||
| show | when the air in a valley flows up to the mountain slopes because there is higher pressure in the valley
🗑
|
||||
| show | Fronts that form when/where warm air moves over cold air
🗑
|
||||
| weather | show 🗑
|
||||
| westerlies | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
🗑
