weather the condition of the Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place; determined by temperature, air pressure, moisture and wind atmosphere envelope of gases that surrounds Earth water vapor water in the form of a gas air pressure weight of air pressing down on objects altitude distance above sea level troposphere lower atmosphere, where we live and where weather occurs stratosphere lower part of middle atmosphere, contains ozone layer mesosphere upper part of middle atmosphere, protects from meteoroids, coldest layer thermosphere upper atmosphere, made of ionosphere and exosphere, air is very thin temperature average amount of energy of motion of each particle of a substance radiation direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves conduction direct transfer of heat from one substance to another that is touching convection transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid (liquid/gas) convection currents the upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air local winds blow from any direction and cover short distances sea breeze blows from an ocean or lake land breeze blows from land to a body of water global winds blow from one specific direction and cover long distances Coriolis effect the shift of any fluid moving above the Earth’s surface due to the rotation jet stream bands of high-speed winds evaporation process by which radiant energy from the sun turns surface liquid water into a gas called water vapor humidity measure of the amount of water vapor in the air condensation process where water vapor changes into a liquid dew point the temperature at which water vapor condenses precipitation moisture that falls from clouds as rain, sleet, freezing rain, snow or hail
