Answer:
Liquid to Gas
Question:
Freezing
Answer:
Liquid to Solid
Question:
Condensation
Answer:
Gas to Liquid
Question:
Deposition
Answer:
Gas to Solid
Question:
Sublimation
Answer:
Solid to Gas
Question:
What influences the rate of evaporation?
Answer:
Air & Water Temperature, Degree of Saturation, and Windiness/Mixing
Question:
How does air and water temperature influence the rate of evaporation?
Answer:
The warmer the temperature, the higher the rate of evaporation
Question:
How does the degree of saturation influence the rate of evaporation?
Answer:
The higher the degree of saturation, the slower the rate of evaporation
Question:
How does windiness/mixing influence the rate of evaporation?
, Answer:
The quicker the wind moves, the higher the rate of evaporation
Question:
What are the types of humidity?
Answer:
Absolute, Specific, & Relative
Question:
What is absolute humidity?
Answer:
The weight of the water in a given volume of air; AH = mass of water
vapor/volume of air
Question:
What is specific humidity?
Answer:
The weight of water in a give weight of air; SH = mass of water vapor/total
mass of air
Question:
What is relative humidity?
Answer:
The percent of water vapor in an air mass, the higher the amount of water
vapor in the air then the higher the percentage is, temperature and relative
humidity are inversely proportionate; RH = water vapor content/water vapor
capacity = actual vapor pressure/saturation vapor pressure x 100%
Question:
Unsaturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate
Answer:
For every kilometer the altitude increases the air cools 10 degrees Celsius,
eventually the air reaches dew point and releases moisture --> windward side
of the mountain the air rises dry/wet, leeward side of the mountain the air
falls dry
Question:
Dew Point
Answer:
The temperature at which the water vapor reaches saturation, the air cannot
hold any more water; the colder the temperature is then the lower the dew
point is because air has less volume; dew point is always lower or equal to the
air temperature
Question:
What are the four types of fog?
Answer:
Radiation, Advection, Upslope, Evaporation
Question:
Radiation Fog
