Q

How is precipitation forms?

A

The particles can get so large that gravitational force due to the mass of the particles can cause them to fall out of the cloud

Q

How create the hail?

A

1.- When strong winds blow upward, blow raindrops back up into the freezing air at the top of the cloud. This create a small piece of ice.

2.- As the ice passes through the cloud many times, many layers of water freeze on it.

3.-This it gets too heavy for the winds to carry it back up. This layered frozen precipitation is called hail.

Q

These cloud form more than 6km above the ground. they are often thin, whispy and white.

A

Cirrus

17
Q

Cloud that grow VERTICALLY have rising air inside them and These clouds may be as low as 1 km above the ground.

A

Cumulonimbus

18
Q

These base of mide level clouds are between 2 km-7 km above the ground. That look like small, puffy balls.

A

Altocumulos

19
Q

Low level clouds are often seen less than 2 km above the ground. They look dark because little sunlight gets through the layer of clouds

A

Stratus

20
Q

Its a cloud at ground level, as air near the ground cools, water vapor condenses into tiny droplets.

A

Fog

21
Q

TRUE OR FALSE
The many types clouds DON´T interacting into.

A

False
Clouds intercating with landforms.

22
Q

TRUE OR FALSE:

Weather and climate is the same definition.

A

False
They are different definition

23
Q

___________________is made up of all the conditions in one place at a SINGLE moment.

A

Weather

24
Q

_____________describe the weather conditions over a long time, at least thirty years.

A

Climate

25
Q

What factors affect the climate?

A

Latitude, elevation and closeness to large bodies of water-

26
Q

What is the Latitude?

A

Is a measure of how far a place is from teh equator.

27
Q

TRUE OR FALSE
The Latitude is measured in hours?

A

FALSE
The latitude measured in degrees. (Equator = 0°)

28
Q

An area nearer of the Equator is usually HOTTER or Cold than places farther away?

A

is Hotter

29
Q

Where usually quite cold?

A

Some places with sun less, like the North or South Poles.

30
Q

The ocean can be affect a climate?

A

Yes, because the temperature of the air does not change as quickly as air inland.

31
Q

Mountain range may have differente climates than areas around them, in the higher land is cooler or hooter?

A

is Cooler, because the temperature decrease with increased elevation.

32
Q

is movement of air that redistribution heat on Earth.

A

Circulation

33
Q

Frozen precipitation that forms in layers.

A

Hail

34
Q

Is a measure of how far or place is from of the Equator.

A

Latitude
