to a gas.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Energy is _________ during condensation.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Process by which ice becomes a gas without becoming a liquid.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD

Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
The maximum amount of water vapor that an air mass can hold
at a specific temperature
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Formula used to calculate relative humidity
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Two ways to increase relative humidity.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
The mass of water vapor in a unit of air relative to the mass of the
dry air.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
At the dew point, water vapor will _________ into a liquid because
air is _____________.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
The air contains 5 g/kg of water vapor.
The amount needed for saturation is 10 g/kg.
What is the RH?
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
There is 10 g/m3 of water vapor in the air. Saturation value is 25
g/m3 of water vapor. What is the RH?
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Two air masses are at the same temperature, but one contains 35 g/kg of water vapor. The other
contains 25 g/kg of water vapor. Which has a higher RH?
Daily Double!!!
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
The dew point for a specific air mass is 200 C. Currently the air mass contains 5 g/kg of water
vapor and is 35o C. By how much does the air need to be cooled for
saturation to occur?
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
The relative humidity at the dew point is always ________
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Solid particles that provide a surface for water vapor to
condense into liquid droplets.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Dry air cools at a ______ rate than wet air.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Altitude at which the dew point is reached and clouds begin to
form.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Four methods that can cool air to the dew point and allow clouds to
form.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Reason why wet air has a slower rate of cooling than dry air.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Low, sheet-like clouds that can produce rain.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Name given to clouds that have a puffy appearance.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
An altostratus cloud will be _________ in the sky than a
cirrus cloud.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Name two clouds with vertical development.
Template byBill Arcuri, WCSD
Name a cloud that is made of ice crystals.
