NGSS Standard: 5-ESS2-1 Develop a model using an example
to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere,
and/or atmosphere interact.
Presenter: Dr. Persin
Types of Air Masses:
 Continental Arctic (cA)  Maritime Polar (mP)
 Continental Polar (cP)
 Maritime Tropical (mT)
 Continental Tropical (cT)
They determine the
weather in each
region.
Determine the surface winds of each hemisphere.
 Divided into three wind belts:
1. Easterlies
2. Westerlies
3. Trade Winds

The droplets are so small and light that they
can float in the air.
MOST COMMON TYPES of CLOUDS
Cirrus Clouds
Stratus Clouds
Cumulus Clouds
CLOUDS in the TROPOSPHERE


A storm is a large cumulonimbus cloud with
lightning and thunder.
It can produce gusty winds, heavy rain, and hail.
Fast Fact: Life on Earth
depends on the Water Cycle.
Symbols:
Liquid Water
Water Vapor
Solar Energy
Key Terms:
1. Condensation: water falling
from clouds as rain, fog, mist, or
snow.
2. Transpiration: water given-off
by plants as vapor.
3. Evaporation: water passing
from liquid phase to vapor phase.


Soil absorption- When water
falls on land, it can seep into
the ground.
Surface runoff- the water flow
which occurs when soil is
saturated.


Leaching- the loss of water
soluble plant nutrients
from the soil due to rain
and irrigation.
Sink holes- a natural
depression or hole caused
by the removal of soil
and/or bedrock, by water.


Aquifer - an underground source of water
bounded by impermeable rock or other materials
(gravel, sand, silt, or clay).
The groundwater can be usefully extracted using
a water well.


Reservoir- an artificial lake used to store water.
They are often created by building a sturdy dam,
usually out of concrete, earth, rock, or a mixture
across a river or stream.
Once the dam is
completed, the stream
fills the reservoir.

1. Volume of air defined by
its temperature and water vapor.
2. Large collection of very tiny water
droplets.
3. Produced by a cumulonimbus
cloud.
4. Life on Earth depends on it.
5. Excess water, from rain, snowmelt
or other sources.
6. Depression from removal of
bedrock.
7. Underground layer of water.
