  4. EQ 17 p.17 • Q: What are some examples of the different states of water?

  5. EQ 17 p.17 • Q: What are some examples of the different states of water?

  6. EQ 18 p.18 Q: Explain each component of the water cycle. 1. EVAPORATION: water heats & changes from a liquid to a gas (water vapor) & enters the atmosphere. 2. TRANSPIRATION: Plants change water from a liquid to a gas. 3. CONDENSATION: Water vapor (gas) cools & changes to liquid. Forms clouds, dew, or frost. 4. PRECIPITATION: Water droplets fall in various forms (rain, snow, sleet, hail) depending on temperatures.

  7. EQ 19 p.19 • Q: How does water change form in the water cycle? • 1. EVAPORATION: from liquid to a gas due to heat. • 2. TRANSPIRATION: from liquid to a gas in plants. • 3. CONDENSATION: from gas to a liquid due to cold. • 4. PRECIPITATION: from a liquid to a liquid or solid depending on temperature.

  8. EQ 20 p.20 • Q: What can result from condensation? • 1. CLOUDS • 2. DEW when water vapor condenses directly onto a surface. • 3. FROST when water vapor changes from gas directly to ice crystals on a surface when temperature is freezing or below.

  9. EQ 21 p.21 • Q: What is the difference between surface-water flow & groundwater flow? • SURFACE-WATER FLOW the flowing of water over the ground back to sea level because gound is not porous or the precipitation is falling too fast to sink into the ground. • GROUNDWATER FLOW water flowing underground because the surface is porous & there is lots of space in the soil to hold the water.

  10. EQ 22 p.22 Q: How do clouds form? 1. The sun heats the water turning liquid water into water vapor by evaporation. 2. The warm, moist, water vapor (gas) rises and cools. 3. Cooled water vapor condenses into liquid water droplets around dust particles in the air. 4. The liquid droplets join together to form a visible cloud.

  11. EQ 23 p.23 Q: Describe the three major types of clouds. 1. CUMULUS clouds are fluffy and puffy with flat bottoms. White = fair weather, Dark = rain or thunderstorms. 2. CIRRUS clouds are wispy like a mare’s tail and HIGH in the sky signaling fair weather. 3. STRATUS clouds spread out layer upon layer over a large area with precipitation.

  12. EQ 24 p.24 Q: What are some cloud prefixes / suffixes? “cirrus” high “cumulus” puffy, piled up “stratus” layered “nimbus” rain “alto” middle

  13. EQ 25 p.25 • Q: How do cloud names act as clues to weather conditions? • CULULONIMBUS: a cumulus cloud that grows & becomes a thunderstorm NIMBOSTRATUS: a stratus cloud that precipitates. • ALTOSTRATUS: a medium level stratus cloud. • ALTOCUMULUS: a medium level cumulus cloud.

  14. EQ 26 p.26 • Q: What tools are used to accurately collect weather data to ensure precise weather predictions? • ANEMOMETER measures wind speed in miles per hour. • WIND VANE measures wind direction from which the wind is blowing. • THERMOMETER measures temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. • SLING-PSYCHROMETER measures relative humidity (amount of water vapor in the air) • BAROMETER measures air pressure in inches of mercury or millibars. • RAIN GAUGE measures the amount of precipitation in inches or centimeters.
