Insolation is short
for ___________
Incoming Solar
Radiation
The areas around the
equator are
__________. The
areas around the
poles are __________.
Hottest
coldest
What happens to
the temperature
as the angle of
insolation
increases?
It gets warmer.
The smaller the
angle of
insolation, the
___________ the
shadows.
longer
What type of
texture gets the
hottest and WHY?
Rough textures. They
cause light to bounce
around at many
angles and absorb
more heat.
Clouds are made
up of _____ or
___________.
Water droplets or
ice crystals
This type cloud
forms in layers at
midaltitudes.
altostratus
This type of cloud
develops
vertically and
produces severe
weather.
cumulonimbus
________ clouds are
wispy and feathery and
only form at high
altitudes.
cirrus
Explain the
difference
between an ice
crystal and water
droplet cloud.
Water droplet clouds tend to have sharp,
well defined edges and appear darker in
color.
Ice crystal clouds tend to have fuzzy,
less distinct edges and appear whiter.
What is the most
common type of
precipitation?
rain
_______ forms when rain
drops fall through a layer
of air that is below
freezing.
Sleet
How does snow
form?
When water vapor
in a cloud turns
directly into ice
crystals.
How big must a
piece of ice be to
be considered
“hail”?
Greater than
5mm in diameter
Explain how hail forms and
grows in size.
1. Starts off as pellets of ice
2. Grows as tossed by updrafts.
3. When they fall they become coated
with water and as they rise the water
turns into an icy shell.
4. This happens over and over again.
What happens to
temperature as
you get higher in
altitude
It gets colder
What is human
body temperature
in F and C?
98.6 F and 37 C
What is freezing
in F and C?
0˚C and 32˚F
What is boiling in F and C?
212˚F and 100˚C
What’s the
difference
between sleet and
hail?
Sleet forms when rain fall through a
layer of the air that is below freezing. It’s
also smaller than 5mm in diameter.
What is needed
for water to
evaporate?
Energy from the
sun
What happens to
precipitation once
it hits the Earth’s
surface (one of 3
things)?
1. It evaporates
immediately 2.
becomes
groundwater or 3.
runoff.
What are the 3
main processes of
the water cycle?
Evaporaton,
condensation,
precipitation
How do plants put
water into the air?
transpiration
What 2 processes
take water out of
the air?
Condensation and precipitation
The air is made up
of 78% _____,
21% _____, and
1% _______
78% Nitrogen
21% Oxyen
1% water vapor and dust
particles
What is the
opposite of
evaporation?
condensation
What is
condensation?
Gas to a liquid
What is the
formula used
when converting
from F to C?
(F-32) x 0.555
Explain how
condensation
forms on a glass
of lemonade.
The warm air around the cold glass
cools off and condenses into water
droplets on the side of the glass.
