Vocabulary 1. Saturated or Saturation Point (of air) 4. Nuclei or Nucleation Site 2. Dew Point 5. 100% Relative Humidity 3. Condensation 6. Coalescence (of water droplets) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud Formation 1. What term describes cloud formation during the water cycle? (not sure p.393) 2. With a diagram, explain how clouds form. Use ALL of the vocabulary above, along with evaporation & water vapor. 3. When does condensation take place? 4. Explain why clouds only form in low (L) pressure zones.
Fog Formation 5. Explain why fog is a type of cloud that touches the ground. 6. Explain how fog forms. To explain your answer, use the terms; humidity or water vapor, saturation, cooling, dew point, nucleation site, & condensation.
Types of Clouds 7. Draw out a table or diagram of the different clouds. 8. You must be able to identify the different clouds. Therefore, design a scaffolding device to make sense of the material (e.g., mnemonic device).
