32 degrees
24 mL
45%
15 NW
Which will hold more water, warm air or cold air?

Cold AIr
The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere compared to the maximum amount it could hold is known as...
Saturation
Vaporicity
Absolute Humidity
Relative Humidity
What does high absolute humidity mean?
It is cold.
It is hot.
There is a little water vapor in the air.
There is a lot of water vapor in the air.
Which type of air has more kinetic energy?
Warm air
Cold air
If you were to take a sponge with water in it and squeeze it, this could be used to model which process in nature?
Air cooling down and creating water droplets
Air warming up and causing rain
Air filling up with more water from evaporation
In the sponge lab, which sponge was used to represent warm air?
Large Sponge
Medium Sponge
Small Sponge
Which type of air has more space for water molecules to be held?
Warm air
Cold Air
Cool Air
Is the air typically colder at the top or bottom of a mountain?
Bottom
Top
If the air temperature gets warmer, but the TOTAL amount of water vapor in the air stays the same, what will happen to the RELATIVE humidity?
relative humidity will decrease
relative humidity will increase
relative humidity will stay the same
If the air temperature stays the same, but the TOTAL amount of water vapor in the air increases, what will happen to the RELATIVE humidity?
relative humidity will decrease
relative humidity will increase
relative humidity will stay the same
How does water vapor get into the air?
Condensation from clouds
Evaporation from the ocean and lakes
Precipitation from clouds
People putting it there
Why is this meme a good model for understanding humidity? Choose two
Low humidity means there is little water in the air
Low humidity is deadly
High humidity means the air is holding lots of water
High humidity means causes the air to expand
The dew point is the temperature that water vapor in the air starts to condense to form water droplets. How does the absolute humidity (total water in the air) affect the dew point?
When the absolute humidity is higher, the dew point is higher
When the absolute humidity is lower, the dew point is higher
The absolute humidity has no affect on the dew point
It is summertime and the air is holding lots of water. All of sudden, the temperature drops rapidly. What is likely to happen?
It is likely to rain, because cold air cannot hold as much water
It is likely to become sunny, because cool air has less clouds
Which of these scenarios is most likely to create clouds? (remember that clouds are water droplets) Choose two
Evaporation puts more water vapor in the air
The air temperature increases with no increase in water vapor in the air
The air temperature decreases with no increase in water vapor in the air
The rate of evaporation slows down, putting less water vapor in the air
