Erath started with the same water vapor in the air parcels. It rained at the end of Day 2 but not Day 1. Why?
the air parcel was warmer than the air and gained energy
the air parcel was warmer than the air and lost energy
the air parcel was the same as the air and had low energy
the air parcel was cooler so it gained energy
Which storm would produce more rainfall?
Storm 2, b/c it will get more warm air above it and gain energy
Storm 1, b/c it will get more cooler air above it and lose energy
Storm 2, b/c it was cooler and will gain more energy as it rises
Storm 1, b/c it was warmer and will lose more energy as it rises
If a cup of hot coffee sits on the counter for several hours, what will happen to it's temperature?
it will increase until it is the same temperature as the room its in
it will decrease until it is the same temperature as the room its in
it will increase until it is boiling
it will decrease until it is just warm
Which air parcel will have more rain? Why?
Both air parcels will have the same amount of rain
AP 2 will gain more energy from the air and makes water vapor turn to rain
AP 2 will lose more energy to the air and the water vapor will fall as rain
Air parcel 1 because it's colder and more water vapor will fall as rain
What explains why Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2?Before Storm 1, the air parcel at the surface could have been:
cooler and windier, the air parcel had low energy and stayed by the surface
warmer and windier, when the air parcel moved higher it lost energy
warmer and windier, when the cooler air from above move down it lost energy
cooler and windier, when the air parcel moved higher it gained energy
Why do small droplets of water form on the outside of cold fruits when you take them out of the fridge?
water absorbs from the inside of the glass to the outside of the glass
water vapor in the air turns to liquid water
oxygen in the air turns to liquid water
water leaked from the inside of the glass to the outside of the glass
Which layer of the atmosphere (seen below) is where you would find the troposphere?
the layer closest to Earth
the layer farthest from Earth
they layer in the middle
In both storms, the air parcel temp was the same, so why did Storm 1 receive so much more rain?
Storm 1 could have had wind that pushed water vapor out of the parcel
Storm 1 could have had little wind, so it didn't push down on the parcel
Storm 1 could have had wind that pushed the parcel up higher
What were the conditions probably like before Storm 2 produced more rain?
The air parcel was warmer and there was less wind to push the parcel lower
The air parcel was cooler and there was less wind to push the parcel higher
The air parcel was cooler and there was more wind to push the parcel lower
The air parcel was warmer and there was more wind pushing the parcel higher
Why did storm 1 have more rainfall than storm 2? Before storm 1, the town could have been...
Warmer and windy, so the wind pushed the water vapor out of the parcel
Cooler and windy, the wind pushed the air parcel up and it gained energy
Cooler and windy, the wind pushed down cold air & water vapor lost energy
Warmer and windy, so the wind pushed the parcel higher and it lost energy
