Is the rough horizontal movement of air caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface.
(a)
Is given in knots, were in it is equal to a speed of at about one nautical mile per hour.
(a)
Is a rapid increase in strength of the wind relative to its mean value over a period of time.
(a)
Is a strong wind that commence suddenly, lasts for some minutes and dies away comparatively.
(a)
What is not a characteristic of the Beaufort Scale number 12?
75mph or higher
64-72mph
Hurricane Force
Violence and destruction
These appears in three forms; gas (humidity), liquid (precipitation) and solid (ice and snow).
(a)
What are the missing processes?
Freezing
Evaporating
Sublimation
Precipitation
This indicates the probability of precipitation
(a)
Is the ration of water vapor to dry air in a particular mass, and is sometimes referred to as humidity ratio
(a)
Is an important metric used in weather forecasts and reports, as an indicator of precipitation.
(a)
Are masses of condensed water vapor which are visible signs of atmospheric processes at work.
(a)
Are visible mass of condensed droplets or frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of the earth or another planetary body.
(a)
This occurs when the sun is no longer supplying heat on the ground (e.g land and mountain breeze)
Radiative Cooling
Orographic Flow
Convectional Lifting
Convergence
Occure when air is forced to rise because of the physical presence of an elevated land.
Orographic Flow
Convectional Lifting
Convergence
Radiative Cooling
It is associated with the surface heating of the air at the ground (e.g. sea and valley breeze).
Orographic low
Convectional Lifting
Radiative Cooling
Convergence
Takes place when two air masses come together and these air masses must have different temperature and moisture characteristics.
Orographic Flow
Convectional Lifting
Convergence
Radiative Cooling
High level clouds which form above 20, 000 feet and are usually composed of ice crystals. These are typically thin and white in appearance and generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
Cirro-form
Nimbo-form
Cumulo-form
Strato-form
Nimbus come from the latin word that means (a) ?
These clouds typically form below 6,000 feet above and bring steady precipitation.
Nimbo-form
Cumulo-form
Strato-from
Cirro-form
Clouds look like white fluffy cotton balls or heaps and show the vertical motion or thermal uplift of air taking place in the atmosphere.
(a)
Stratus is latin for (a) or blanket.
This clouds consists of a feature-less low layer that can cover the entire sky like a blanket. This bring generally gray and dull weather.
(a)
Tick the High Clouds
Cirrostratus
Cumulostratus
Cirrus
Cirrucumulus
Which does not belong to the group of Middle Clouds?
Altostratus
Altocumulus
Stratocumulus
Cumulonimbus
Cumulonimbus are also called?
(a)
(a) are relatively large bodies of air that are fairly uniform in characteristics. They may extend across an entire continent and are relatively uniform in temperature and moisture content.
Which one is wrong?
Continental Arctic - very cold, very moist
Maritime Equatorial - very warm, very moist
Continental Polar - cold, dry
Continental Antarctic - very cold, very dry
The boundary separating two different air masses, and it is along these fronts that a substantial amount of weather occurs.
(a)
The air behind a (a) is noticeably colder and drier than the air ahead of it.
Once this boundary resumes its forward motion, it once again becomes a warm front or cold front.
(a)
As the storm intensifies, the cold front rotates around the storm and catches the warm front. This forms an (a) .
Tropical wave are elongated areas of relatively low pressure, causing area of cloudiness and thunderstorms and usually in occurs in April or may and continues until October or November is also known as?
(a)
This monsoon is very warm and humid it occurs when war moist air flows over the country from the southwest direction.
(a)
Occurs when the cold and intense Asiatic winter Anti-cyclon sends northeasterly winds across the Philippines.
(a)
This oscillates by season, positioned south of the equator from January to March; along or little bit north of the equator in April and May; then oscillate farther north of the country till September and gradually go down by October
