3-Science Flashcards
TRUE OR FALSE:
The clouds is the same shape and different size.
FALSE:
TThe shape ande the size clouds are different, they come en many shapes and size
How are clouds formed?
the clouds form when water vapor changes into tiny water droplets or ice cristals
What does it depend on whether a cloud is made of water droplets or small crystals?
Depends partly on air temperature.
TRUE OR FALSE:
The clouds temperature normally is much lower than the temperature of the ground.
TRUE
Even on summer days, many clouds are made of ice crystals.
How is precipitation forms?
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
TRUE OR FALSE:
The temperature of the air high above the ground is often below 0°C?
TRUE
Is often BELOW 0°C.
TRUE OR FALSE
The ice crystal with temperature above 0°C DECREASE until the start to fall as snowflakes.
FALSE:
The ice crystals grow larger until they start to fall as sowflakes
How changes the ice cristals in to clouds?
The ice crystals from a cloud may changes as thet fall through different layers of air
If the ice crystals fall into air that is warmen than 0°C, the will melt and fall as___________?
Rain
If the near ground is very cold, the rain sometimes _________________ before it hits the ground.If the ice cristals.
Freezes
If raindrop fall for a longer time through cold air, they freeze and fall to the ground as frozen drops called_______.
Sleet
If air between the clouds and the ground has a temperature below 0°C, ice cristals can be form in__________________
Snow
How create the hail?
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.
What it depends are there different clouds type forms?
Depend of the weather
What are the types of clouds?
Cirrus, Cumulunimbus, altocumulus, Stratos and Fog.
These cloud form more than 6km above the ground. they are often thin, whispy and white.
Cirrus
Cloud that grow VERTICALLY have rising air inside them and These clouds may be as low as 1 km above the ground.
Cumulonimbus
These base of mide level clouds are between 2 km-7 km above the ground. That look like small, puffy balls.
Altocumulos
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
Stratus
Its a cloud at ground level, as air near the ground cools, water vapor condenses into tiny droplets.
Fog
TRUE OR FALSE
The many types clouds DON´T interacting into.
False
Clouds intercating with landforms.
TRUE OR FALSE:
Weather and climate is the same definition.
False
They are different definition
___________________is made up of all the conditions in one place at a SINGLE moment.
Weather
_____________describe the weather conditions over a long time, at least thirty years.
Climate
What factors affect the climate?
Latitude, elevation and closeness to large bodies of water-
What is the Latitude?
Is a measure of how far a place is from teh equator.
TRUE OR FALSE
The Latitude is measured in hours?
FALSE
The latitude measured in degrees. (Equator = 0°)
An area nearer of the Equator is usually HOTTER or Cold than places farther away?
is Hotter
Where usually quite cold?
Some places with sun less, like the North or South Poles.
The ocean can be affect a climate?
Yes, because the temperature of the air does not change as quickly as air inland.
Mountain range may have differente climates than areas around them, in the higher land is cooler or hooter?
is Cooler, because the temperature decrease with increased elevation.
is movement of air that redistribution heat on Earth.
Circulation
Frozen precipitation that forms in layers.
Hail
Is a measure of how far or place is from of the Equator.
