PPT-Clouds & Precipitation

NotesVocabulary How do clouds form when warm air amp cold air meet cold air pushes up the warm air and a cloud can form when air rises and cools the water vapor in the air condenses into tiny water droplets and forms a cloud.

We’ve studied the water cycle, and last week we focused on the “Condensation”. part. Now, we are going to discuss the precipitation part of the water cycle.. Let’s watch this video on Precipitation!. and . Sky Conditions. S4E3. Students will differentiate between the states of water and how they relate to the water cycle and weather.. e.

The extreme sensitivity of the climate system to hydrological processes especially clouds and precipitation. Weather Forecast. By: Mustafa Azam. Weather Tools Used. Barometer- Shows atmospheric pressure.. Wind Vane- Shows wind direction. Rain Gauge- Shows the amount of precipitation during a storm.. Weather Journal. Deliberate Cloud Seeding. Cloud Seeding. Deliberate cloud seeding, with the goal of increasing precipitation by the injection of specific types of particles into clouds, has been pursued for over 60 years. . Relief. There are three reasons why air is forced upward also forming three types of precipitation.. Relief . Precipitation- caused by winds carrying air up over a mountain barrier.. Convectional Precipitation. Chapter 7. Weather and Climate. Objectives. Explore how the water cycle drives weather.. Discuss the conditions that favor thunderstorms and tornadoes.. Main Idea. Water vapor and changes in temperature are important factors in cloud formation and in precipitation.. Artificial rain making.. Process of Precipitation:. Precipitation is caused by condensation of water . vapours. of the air mass. . The ascending air mass with sufficient amount of water . vapours. becomes saturated due to adiabatic cooling. Condensation of water . Clouds. Form when air rises, cools to its dew point, and becomes saturated. Shape and height of clouds vary with temperature, pressure, and water vapor in atmosphere. Clouds. Shape. Stratus-smooth, even sheets or layers at low altitudes.
