PPT-Three Types of Precipitation

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. This includes rain snow hail and sleet Precipitation occurs when water vapour cools When the air reaches saturation point also known as condensation point and dew point the water vapour condenses and forms tiny droplets of water These tiny droplets By: Caleb . B. arfield and Evan . C. leveland. Precipitation. i. s falling products of condensation in the atmosphere . Types of Precipitation. Rain. : precipitation from clouds in the form of a drop. Precipitation. 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!. Science ~ chapter 8. weather. Precipitation. Section . 2. What types of precipitation have you personally experienced?. How are they different from one another?. Anticipatory set. S 6.4.e –. Students know differences in pressure, heat, air movement, and humidity result in change in weather. and . Sky Conditions. S4E3. Students will differentiate between the states of water and how they relate to the water cycle and weather.. e. Investigate different forms of precipitation and sky conditions (rain, snow, sleet, hail, clouds, and fog).. Read and study each page of this PowerPoint with your table group.. Each group member should take notes about each type of precipitation. . You are looking for information that describes:. How the different types of precipitation form. Dan Bikos, Edward Szoke, Steven Miller, Stanley Kidder, Christian Kummerow,. . Cindy Combs,. Scott Longmore. . *. Paula Brown. Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA). *. Department of Atmospheric Science. :. After the completion of a class discussion on the water cycle and precipitation, the students will create and present diagrams explaining the different types of . precipitation, including . at least three facts about their assigned type of precipitation. .

The main shapers of climate are temperature, precipitation, and wind.. These factors form global patterns. Temperatures are warmest in and around the tropics and coolest near the poles.. Precipitation is greatest near the Equator.. 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 . Precipitation mechanisms. Rainall. maps. Rainfall hyetographs.

Reading for Thursday – Applied Hydrology, Sec 3.5 and 3.6. Precipitation can be divided into three categories. . based on whether it falls as liquid water, liquid water that freezes on contact with the surface, or . ice. Mixtures of different types of precipitation, including types in different categories, can fall simultaneously. .
