Adiabatic temperature changes
• When air expands it drops• Change in temp without addition
or removal of heat
![Page 3: 2awindfelder](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55622b8ad8b42af6668b51ce/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Orographic lifting• This occurs when air mass is
forced from low elevation to a higher elevation.• This happens high up in the sky.

Frontal wedging• When cold and warm air collide
on the surface of the earth.• Warm air is force up because its
less dense.

convergence•Greater in flow then out
flow.

Localized convective lifting
•Warm air rising above an particular local city.

stability•The balance of the weather

condensation•When water vapor cools to its
dew point and changes back in to a liquid.

Types of clouds• There are four types of clouds.• Cumulus, Stratus, cirrus, and
Cumulonimbus.

High clouds
•Made out of air that is so cold its made up of ice crystals.
![Page 11: 2awindfelder](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55622b8ad8b42af6668b51ce/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Middle clouds•Made up of ice crystals.• In the middle part of the
atmosphere.
![Page 12: 2awindfelder](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55622b8ad8b42af6668b51ce/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Low clouds•Located in the lower part of the atmosphere.•Called stratus.
![Page 13: 2awindfelder](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55622b8ad8b42af6668b51ce/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Clouds of vertical development
• Crated from the bottom up.• Called cumulus.
![Page 14: 2awindfelder](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55622b8ad8b42af6668b51ce/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
fog•Crated by water vapor in the air.
![Page 15: 2awindfelder](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55622b8ad8b42af6668b51ce/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cold cloud precipitation•Known as snow or sleet.•Happens when it rains and
its below 32 degrees.
![Page 16: 2awindfelder](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55622b8ad8b42af6668b51ce/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Warm cloud precipitation• Known as rain• Happens when it rains and its
above 32 degrees.
![Page 17: 2awindfelder](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55622b8ad8b42af6668b51ce/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Rain and snow• Rain changes to snow when the
temp goes below 32 degrees.

Sleet, glaze and hail• Sleet is a very wet form of snow.• Hail is frozen rain.
