Earth Systems BI 7 Vocab2 (SC.6.E.7.6)

Is the continuous movement of water between the atmosphere, the land, the oceans, and living things. Water is constantly being recycled between liquid, solid, and gaseous states.

• The water cycle

• Evaporation

• jet stream

• Weather

·       Describes the atmospheric conditions at a specific time and place like temperature, precipitation, wind, etc.

• Precipitation

• Weather

• Climate

• Fronts

·       describes the average weather patterns that are most common in an area. It is measured over a long period of time in a specific area, usually 30 years or more.

• Precipitation

• Climate

• High pressure system

• Low pressure system

·     is the process by which a liquid turns into a gas. It is also one of the three main steps in the global water cycle.

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Humidity

is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse action of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor.

Also known as barometric pressure, is the force of air molecules pushing on an area within the Earth's atmosphere.

• Wind speed

• Air direction

• Air pressure

• Thermal pressure

·       tells how fast the wind is blowing. Stronger winds have a higher wind speed.
