This image shows energy being transferred in a system. Where does energy transfer to an air parcel from?
The sun's energy transfers directly to an air parcel.
The sun's energy transfers to the surface then the surface transfers energy to the air parcel.
An air parcel creates it's own energy.
Air parcels do not change temperature which means energy is never transferred.
Chose which answer best completes this statement. When __________ rise they lost energy.
air parcels
energy transfer
evaporation
condensation
Which storm likely had more rainfall?
Storm 1. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.
Storm 1. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.
Storm 2. The cooler air parcel had less energy at the surface, so when wind pushed it higher, it gained more energy.
Storm 2. Wind caused cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.
Marisa left a freshly poured cup of hot chocolate on the table. If she leaves it there for a while, how cold could it get?
If left for a long enough time, it will freeze.
If left for a long enough time, it will be as cold as the room.
If left for a long enough time, it will stay just as hot as when it was poured.
The troposphere is coldest where?
Higher up.
Closer to the surface of the Earth.
There are two air parcels. Air parcel 1 and air parcel 2 have the same amount of water vapor. Which air parcel will have more rainfall?
Air Parcel 1
Air Parcel 2
Energy is transferred from a _____ air parcel to the _____ surrounding air.
cold, cold
cold, warm
warm, warm
warm, cold
Of the options listed, where would we find the coolest air?
At the beach.
At the park.
At the top of a mountain.
When water vapor in an air parcel cools and condenses, which way does energy transfer?
Out of the air parcel.
Into the air parcel.
When does energy stop transferring out of an air parcel?
When the air parcel temperature is warmer than the surrounding air.
When the air parcel temperature is even colder than the surrounding air.
When the air parcel temperature is the same as the surrounding air.
Winds move from ___________
high to low pressure
low to high pressure
Something stays the same over time
energy
change
stability
transfer
What do the yellow arrows represent in Amplify?
movement
energy
temperature
winds
Where weather happens...
troposphere
evaporation
weather
wind
What factors are causing the large rainstorms? CLICK ALL CORRECT ANSWERS
high temperature
wind
surface water (lake)
area on earth
More surface water (larger body of water) =
less water vapor and smaller storm
less water vapor and larger storm
more water vapor and smaller storm
more water vapor and larger storm
How do winds affect storm size?
The wind pushes the air parcel LOWER
The wind pushes the air parcel HIGHER into the troposphere
Wind does not have an impact on storm size
The higher into the troposphere the air parcel rises__________
the more energy the air parcel loses = bigger cloud and storm
the more energy the air parcel loses = smaller cloud and storm
the more energy the air parcel gains = bigger cloud and storm
the more energy the air parcel loses = smaller cloud and storm
the amount of water vapor in the air
humidity
human
gravity
Jingle Bells
The warmer the air parcel _____________
the higher into the troposphere the air parcel will rise, which causes a bigger storm
the higher into the troposphere the air parcel will rise, which causes a smaller storm
Warm air parcels stay at very close to the ground
warm air parcels don't rise
When a puddle evaporates...
water turns from a gas to a liquid and disappears
water turns from a liquid to a gas and disappears
water turns from a liquid to a gas and enters the air
water turns from a gas to a liquid and enters the air
The more energy an air parcel loses = ________________ = bigger storm
the slower the air parcel will rise
air parcels gain energy
higher the air parcel will rise into the troposphere
An air parcel will rise if it is ________than the surrounding air
equal to
colder
warmer
The ability to make things move or change
energy
temperature
