Phases of
Water
SUBLIMATION
Name the process by which
a solid changes directly
into a Gas.
Row 1, Col 1
HUMIDITY
What term describes the
amount of water vapor
in the atmosphere?
1,2
OROGRAPHIC LIFTING
Mountains acts as barriers
which contribute to
cloud formation.
Which lifting mechanism is this?
1,3
CUMULUS
What type of cloud is
fluffy in appearance?
1,4
DEPOSITION
The formation of frost
on a cold windowpane
is an example of which process?
2,1
100% / SATURATED
If the wet-bulb and dry-bulb
on a psychrometer
read the same temperature,
what does this tell us about
the relative humidity of air?
2,2
FRONTAL WEDGING
Cold air gets wedged under
warm air, causing the warm
air to rise. Which lifting
mechanism does this describe?
2,3
What is the Bergeron process?
The process that explains
the formation of
ice crystals / snow in a cloud.
2,4
WATER VAPOR
What is the most important gas
when it comes to
atmospheric process?
3,1
THE FIRST ROOM
The temperature in each of two rooms is 30 degrees C.
The relative humidity in the first room is 80% and
the relative humidity in the second room is 70%.
The air conditioning is turned on in
each of the rooms and the temperature
begins to cool at an equal rate in both rooms.
Which room should show condensation on its walls first?
3,2
Cloud formation
Saturated air,
unstable air,
condensation nuclei &
rising air are all necessary for
the formation of…

3,3
SLEET
Snow falls through warm air then
refreezes above
the ground, which type of
precipitation is likely to form?
3,4
CONDENSATION
If water vapor in the air is cooled,
which phase change will happen?
4,1
70%
Use a relative humidity chart.
If the dry bulb temperature is 4C
and the wet bulb temperature is 2C,
what is the relative humidity?
4,2
ADIABATIC heating/cooling/temperature changes
When air expands, it cools down.
When air is compressed, it warms.
What is the name of this process?
4,3
collision-coalescence
A theory of raindrop formation in warm
clouds in which large cloud droplets
collide and join together with smaller
droplets to form a raindrop.
4,4
Evaporation then Condensation
The sequence of phase changes
that would convert water
from the ocean into a cloud.

5,1
36%
Use a relative humidity chart.
If the dry bulb temperature is 2C
and the wet bulb -2C,
what is the relative humidity?
5,2
WINDWARD
The side of a mountain in which
air rises and cools causing
a lot of clouds & precipitation.
5,3
FREEZING RAIN
If a cloud produces snow
and the snow falls through warm air
but then freezes on the surface,
What type of precipitation would we experience?
5,4
