When water condenses, latent heat is ___________ (absorbed/released) to the surroundings correct
answersreleased
When ice melts, latent heat is ___________ (absorbed/released) by the water molecules correct
answersabsorbed
Energy absorbed by evaporating water molecules is called correct answerslatent heat
Choose the correct order for the physical states of water, from the one having the least amount of latent
heat to the one having the most amount of latent heat correct answerssolid (ice), then liquid, then vapor
If the temperature of air increases, the relative humidity will _______________ (increase/decrease), if
no other factors change correct answersdecrease
If the vapor content of a parcel of air remains the same, but the temperature increases, the relative
humidity will correct answersdecrease
The temperature at which a parcel of air becomes saturated is called the ________ point correct
answersdew
At what time of day is the relative humidity likely to be lowest correct answersmiddle of the afternoon
A measure of humidity that give the mass of water vapor in grams per kilogram of dry air is called the
correct answersNOT - specific humidity
The water vapor content of a parcel of air is 8 grams/kilogram, and the air would be saturated at 16
grams/kilogram. The relative humidity of this parcel of air is _________ percent correct answers50
,If the temperature of air decreases, the relative humidity will _______________ (increase/decrease), if
no other factors change correct answersincrease
A measure of humidity that give the mass of water vapor in grams per cubic meter of air is
__________________ humidity correct answersabsolute
If the vapor content of a parcel of air remains the same, but the temperature increases, the relative
humidity will correct answersdecrease
The relative humidity of a parcel of air is 50%. There is no change in the water vapor content, but the
temperature of the air increases. The relative humidity will ____________ (increase/decrease) correct
answersdecrease
The water vapor content of a parcel of air is 10 grams/kilogram, and the air would be saturated at 50
grams/kilogram. The relative humidity of this parcel of air is _________ percent correct answers20
When a gas expands, its temperature _________________ (increases/decreases) correct
answersdecreases
When air subsides, its temperature _________________ (increases/decreases) correct answersincreases
The rate of change in the temperature of rising or subsiding air which is saturated is called the
___________ ____________________ Lapse Rate correct answerssaturated adiabatic
When air rises, its temperature _________________ (increases/decreases) correct answersdecreases
The saturated adiabatic lapse rate is a slower lapse rate than the dry adiabatic lapse rate. This is because
correct answerslatent heat is being released
A parcel of unsaturated air has a temperature of 11 degrees C at an altitude of 500 meters. What is its
temperature if the air rises to 1500 meters? _____________ degrees C. Put in a number only correct
answers1
, As shown in the image, a parcel of air at sea level has a temperature of 20 degrees C. If the air rises,
what is its temperature at 2000 meters, if the lifting condensation level is 2000 meters?
___________________ degrees C. Put in a number only. correct answers0
As shown in the image, a parcel of air at sea level has a temperature of 20 degrees C. If the air rises,
what is its temperature at 4000 meters, if the lifting condensation level is 2000 meters? The Dry
Adiabatic Lapse Rate is 10 deg C/1000 meters, and the Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate is 5 deg C/1000
meters. ___________________ degrees C. Put in a number only, without writing "degrees". correct
answersNOT - 10
Subsiding air ________________ (expands/is compressed) correct answersis compressed
Rising saturated air cools more slowly than rising unsaturated air because ____________
_______________ is being released during condensation correct answerslatent heat
Rising air ______________ (expands/ is compressed) correct answersexpands
When air subsides, its temperature _________________ (increases/decreases) correct answersincreases
Clouds form if the air correct answersis cooled to the dew point
A parcel of unsaturated air has a temperature of 11 degrees C at an altitude of 500 meters. What is its
temperature if the air rises to 1500 meters? _____________ degrees C. Put in a number only correct
answers1
As shown in the image, a parcel of air at sea level has a temperature of 20 degrees C. If the air rises,
what is its temperature at 3000 meters, if the lifting condensation level is 2000 meters? The Dry
Adiabatic Lapse Rate is 10 deg C/1000 meters, and the Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate is 5 deg C/1000
meters. ___________________ degrees C. Put in a number, without the word "degrees". correct
answersNOT - 10
Hail is formed the same way as snow, but hail particles are smaller than snowflakes correct answersfalse
