Q

What is relative humidity

A

Relative humidity is the amount of moisture in the air compared to what the air can hold at that tempater

16
Q

What is dew point

A

The tempter we need to cool the air down to in order for water to condense and form clouds,dew and other form of precipitation

17
Q

How does dew form

A

The Cooler the air water the less water vapor it can hold and therefore it becomes saturated.condensation occurs when air reaches it dew point. Water vapor that condenses on object is visible as dew or frost.At high dew forms first on the ground because that is where the air is coolest

18
Q

What four places that collection happens in precipitation

A

Rivers oceans lakes and groundwater

19
Q

What 3 forms of precipitation that form cloud

A

Precipitation occurs when so much after has condensed.Air cannot hold it anymore.The clouds get heavy and water falls back to earth on the form of rain,hail or snow
