Unit 2 - "Weather & Water in E.A. Missed Q's

_________ is water vapor in the air changing into liquid water. As air rises, it _____ heat, and the cooling water vapor turns into a liquid. These liquid droplets form clouds.

• Condensation, loses
• Condensation, gains
• Conduction, loses
• Evaporation, loses

Look a the following image by clicking on the image on quizizz. How would you describe the atmospheric profile for freezing rain to fall within the atmosphere?

• Freezing rain forms when the environmental temperature and dew point temperature are below freezing in all of the layers of the troposphere. Freezing rain falls when water vapor condenses as ice crystals, and they fall as supercooled water droplets right before they hit the surface of Earth. 
• Freezing rain forms when the precipitation melts as it falls through a layer of warm air and then refreezes. Freezing rain forms from the re-freezing of the precipitation before it hits the surface of the Earth.
• Freezing rain forms when the precipitation first starts off as liquid water. As the liquid rain falls through the atmosphere, it begins to "supercool", causing the rain to freeze upon contact on the ground that is below 32 degrees fahrenheit. 
• Freezing rain only occurs in the southeast, because it snows in the Northern States.

What is the difference between low pressure, and high pressure in Earth's Atmosphere?

• high pressure is associated with cooler, less dense air. Low pressure is associated with warmer, more dense air.
• High pressure is associated with warm, dry air. Low pressure is associated with cool, moist air.
• High pressure is associated with cool, more dense air. Low pressure is associated with warm, less dense air.
• none of the above answers are correct

When condensation occurs, water changes phases from a __________ to a __________?

• gas, solid
• solid, gas
• liquid, gas
• gas, liquid

For water droplets to fall, they must ________ on tiny dust, salt, or smoke particles in the atmosphere. They fall when they become heavy enough to overcome the ________ supporting the clouds.

• convect, downdraft
• condense, downdraft
• convect, updraft
• condense, updraft
