the process of going from a gas to a liquid

when the air has as much water as it can hold evaporated into it

the amount of water vapor in the air

droplets of water condensed onto a surface as a result of a surface being cooler than the surrounding air

is the center on which condensation forms

the process of a gas instantly turning into a solid

liquid that has been cooled below freezing point, but has not turned into a solid

Most clouds are a result from ______________ cooling of moist air.

thick, brownish haze that resuls from complex chemical molecules being released into the air

Plants release additional water into the atmosphere through a process of ___________

liquid or solid water falling to the surface of the earth

the movement of water from the earth's surface, into the air, and back to the surface

process of rain forming with larger than normal condensation nuclei

any liquid precipitation between 0.2mm and 0.5mm in diameter

supercooled rain drops that touch a freezing surface and turn to ice

rain that freezes before it touches a surface

has layers of ice called rime and glaze

the area where a air mas forms

light snow that does not stick to surfaces

brief periods of light snowfall with no or little accumulation

a brief but intense snowfall

heavy snow fall with winds of at least 35 mph that last 3 hours or more

occurs when the rain fall is less than normal

occurs when the precipitation cannot supply enough moisture to support crops

occurs when a meteorological drought continues for several years, causing severe water shortage in lakes, river, and streams

is concerned witht he effects of a drought on people and their way of life
