PPT-Chapter 4 Water in the Atmosphere

ATMO 1300 Summer II 2017 Chapter 4 Water in the Atmosphere Water Vapor Cloud Formation Nucleating Processes Stability and Clouds Cloud Types Precipitation Growth p 83 Overview Moist air is air that contains water vapor. Controlled atmosphere storage refers to the constant monitoring an d adjustment of the CO and O levels within gas tight stores or containers The gas mixture will constantly change due to metabolic activity of the respiring fruits and vegetables in t Key Terms. Atmosphere. – a thin envelope of gases that encircles the earth and other particles (aerosols). Weather. – the state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time. Meteorology. – the study of the atmosphere and the processes that cause weather. A measure of the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is called __________. Air can hold only so much water vapor. However, _______ air can hold more water vapor than _______ air. When a meteorologist (weather person) talks about this, they are usually talking about _______________________. This is the _____________ of water vapor that is actually in the air compared to how. air pollution. emissions. photochemical smog. ozone. acid rain. ozone layer. chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). greenhouse effect. global warming. drought. water pollution. sewage. pesticides. fertilizers. scrubber. Habitat Destruction!. The process . by which natural habitat is damaged or destroyed to such an extent that it . no longer is capable of supporting the species and ecological communities. . that naturally occur there. It often results in the extinction of species and, as . Two major gases are . Nitrogen. (70%) and . Oxygen. (20%). Most other gases are found in varying amounts. Carbon dioxide . is found in increasing amounts because of . human activities. CO. 2. raises the temperatures in the atmosphere because of a . II 2017. a. aron.hill@ttu.edu. Weather Is Everywhere.

Lecture Presentation. © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.. Atmosphere. The atmosphere consists of the . troposphere. , . stratosphere. (combined 99.9 mass %), . mesosphere. ,. . and . thermosphere. .. Temperature varies greatly with altitude. Within the troposphere (where we live), as altitude increases, temperature increases.. Humidity. A. Defined . as water vapor or . moisture . in the . air (from evaporation and condensation).. B. The . atmosphere gains . moisture . from the evaporation . of . water from oceans, lakes, . Objectives. State how people and other living things use water.. Describe how Earth’s water is distributed.. Explain how Earth’s water moves through the water cycle. .. We are covering NGSS:. MS-ESS2-2 . How does the atmosphere support life?. The atmosphere allows us to breathe. Many different types of organisms need oxygen to perform life processes. Plants require carbon dioxide to undergo photosynthesis. . Objectives. Describe how water moves through underground layers of soil and rock.. Explain how people obtain water from an aquifer. .. We are covering NGSS:. MS-ESS2-2. . Construct . An Explanation Based On Evidence For How Geoscience Processes Have Changed Earth’s Surface At Varying Time And Spatial Scales.

Made up of organisms that-.  . Activity: Aim: To show that Air occupies space..   . Materials required:. A piece of paper, a bowl, water, a glass..  . Procedure: . (. i. ). . Let us crumple a sheet of paper. (ii) Let us stuff the paper ball inside a glass. (iii) Let us invert the glass and push it into a bowl of water..
