condensationnuclei : Clouds can't form unless attached to a __________
expands : Air ________ as heats
contracts : Air _________as it cools.
sublimation : A change of state that goes from solid to gas.
evaporation : A change of state from liquid.
condensation : A change of state from gas to liquid.
cooling : Evaporation causes __________.
released : Freezing causes heat to be _________.
environmental : _______lapse rate =The rate of change of air temperature with height.
orographic : ________lifting – a mountain will act as a barrier and cause the air to asend(rise).
rainshadow : The area behind a mountain where it doesn't rain.
front : A _____is the boundary between two adjoining air masses having contrasting characteristics.
cold : _______Front – cold air forces warm air up over it.
warm : _______Front – warm air moves over cold air.
convergence : _______is when air flows together and rises.
convective : Localized _________ lifting occurs where unequal surface heating causes pockets of air to rise.
rain : Liquid water that falls from the sky – 0.5 mm in size.
snow : Frozen six sided crystals that fall from the sky.
sleet : The fall of clear-‐to-‐translucent ice.
hail : Begin as small ice pellets that grow by collecting supercooled water droplets as they fall through cumulonimbus clouds.
