Humidity Moisture content of the atmosphere Relative Humidity ? the percentage of saturation of the air. 50% humidity means that the air is holding half of the water it is capable of holding 100% humidity is when the air is holding all of the water vapor it can possibly hold ? air is fully saturated and probably precipitating This represents a parcel of air 20 ?C 0 ?C 10 ?C This is moisture 20 ?C HOW FULL IS IT? How could this air mass become 100% full? 10 ?C 0 ?C 20 ?C Drop its temp! What are two ways that nature changes R.H.? What is the Dew Point Temperature? The temperature to which the air mass must drop down to so that R.H is 100% At this point the air is said to be SATURATED

What are 3 major variables that affect our weather? WATCH THE VIDEO! Factors that affect Temperature What is moisture? Water found in one of its three forms: 1. SOLID (ICE/SNOW) 2. LIQUID (RAIN) 3. GAS (WATER VAPOR) Precipitation is moisture that FALLS from the atmosphere above. Precipitation cleans the atmosphere of condensation nuclei Why does precipitation occur? Air can only hold a certain amount of water vapor before it will overfill and condense This is known as capacity ROOM FOR ONE MORE???? What temp. air can hold more W.V.? Warm air can hold MORE water vapor WHY????? Cold air holds LESS water vapor Every 10 degree Celsius increase doubles the air?s capacity Every 10 degree Celsius decrease cuts capacity in half * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Air Pressure

Air Pressure The weight of the air above Earth?s surface Thanks to gravity, the atmosphere has weight. What affects air pressure? Altitude ? air pressure decreases the higher you go up 2 miles up Sea level Decreasing Air Pressure Higher Concentration of air molecules Gravity forces most air molecules to remain close to Earth?s surface Cold air is more dense than warm air Cold air has higher air pressure because the molecules are closer together v v COLD HOT Warm air has LESS air pressure because molecules are farther apart COLD HOT Which air mass can hold more water vapor? v v COLD HOT v v c COLD HOT Air Molecule Water Molecule Warmer air can hold more water molecules than cooler air

What about clouds? What are clouds? Large masses of millions of water droplets suspended in air Water evaporates from lakes, streams, and oceans and enters into the air Transpiration ? the loss of water from plants through their leaves Evapotranspiration ? combines evaporation and transpiration Example of Transpiration: Cloud Forest Steps involved in cloud formation: ?..Warm, MOIST air RISES ?.a drop in air pressure causes?.. ?.Expansion and the air Cools .... Water vapor then?.. ??..Condenses on?? ?..Condensation Nuclei (a surface upon which condensation droplets can stick on. Ex: dirt, salt, smoke) ??..Clouds form!!! Condensation Nuclei Size comparison between raindrop and condensation nuclei Cirrus clouds ? High altitude clouds Cumulus Clouds

ENSO El Nino and La Nina ENSO stands for El Nino Southern Oscillation. The average cycle is 7 years. ENSO occurs in tropical waters (Southern Equatorial Pacific) El Nino means ?The Child? because it usually happens around Christmas so its connected to the baby Jesus Solar Intensity and Latitude At low latitudes (near the equator) the sun?s rays are nearly vertical At high latitudes (near the poles) the sun?s rays are much less intense because the sun remains close to the horizon Tropical latitudes are the warmest Air rises there This causes convection cells (Hadley Cells) that constantly move air throughout the atmosphere Normal conditions in Southern Pacific These surface winds move warmer surface water to the west

Name: ________tyler antebi___________________________ Pg.___1 Mrs. Strype - 8 Acid Rain Internet Activity Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuels react with water and oxygen to form acids. Rainwater is naturally slightly acidic, but this additional acid makes it even more so. Acid rain harms wildlife and upsets the balance of an ecosystem. In this activity, you'll learn what acid rain is and how you can help reduce it. Go to the website What is Acid Rain? What's the definition of acid rain? Acid rain is referring to a mixture of wet and dry materials from the atmosphere containing high amounts acid. Compare wet and dry deposition. Wet Acidic rain, Snow, Fog Acids fall in types of wet or moist weather. Dry Dust, Smoke
