Earth Science - Meteorology Exam || All Questions Answered
Correctly.
what is heat energy? correct answers it is measured in calories. one calorie is the heat necessary
to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius

in order for water to change state heat muse be... correct answers absorbed or released

what is sublimation? correct answers solid is changed directly to a gas

vapor pressure correct answers when water vapor adds pressure to the air

what is humidity? correct answers amount of water vapor in the air

mixing ratio correct answers mass of water in a unit of air compared to the remaining mass of
dry air

relative humidity correct answers ratio of the air's actual water vapor content compared with the
amount of water vapor required for saturation at that temperature

what is the dew point temperature correct answers temperature to which a parcel of air would
need to be cooled to reach saturation

psychrometer correct answers compares temperatures of wet-bulb thermometer and dry-bulb
thermometer

hair hygrometer correct answers reads the humidity directly

adiabatic temperature changes occur when... correct answers air is compressed and air expands

dry adiabatic rate is.... correct answers unsaturated air

wet adiabatic rate is correct answers air that has reached the dew point

orographic lifting correct answers elevated terrains that act as barriers, result can be a
rainshadow desert

frontal wedging is... correct answers cool air acts as a barrier to warm air, the fronts are part of
the storm systems called middle-latitude cyclones

rain is created by air being lifted... correct answers upward

convergence correct answers where the air is flowing together and rising (low pressure)

, localize convective lifting correct answers occurs where unequal surface heating causes pockets
of air to rise because of their buoyancy.

stable air correct answers resists vertical displacement because it is cooler and denser than the
surrounding air

absolute stability correct answers occurs when the environmental lapse rate is less than the wet
adiabatic rate

condensation nuclei correct answers possible condensation surfaces in the atmosphere are tiny
bits of particulate matter

clouds are correct answers made of millions and millions of minute water droplets or tiny
crystals of ice

advection fog correct answers warm, moist, air moves over a cool surface

radiation fog correct answers earth's surface cools rapidly, and forms during cool, clear, calm
nights

upslope fog correct answers humid air move up a slope, and adiabatic cooling occurs

bergeron process correct answers temperature in the cloud is below freezing

collision-coalescence process correct answers warm clouds, large hygroscopic condensation
nuclei, large droplets form

large body of air correct answers 1600km or more across and perhaps several kilometers thick

source region correct answers the area where an area mass acquires its properties

continental polar correct answers from northern Canada and interior of Alaska

maritime tropical correct answers from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, they have
warm, moise and unstable air

continental tropical correct answers southwest and mexico, it is hot and dry.

maritime polar correct answers brings precipitation to the western mountains

warm front correct answers warm air replaces cooler air, clouds become lower as the front nears,
light-to-moderate precipitation

cold front correct answers cold air replaces warm air, twice as steep as warm fronts, advances
faster than a warm front
