Period 7 Weather by Carol-Ann Silvestri https://padlet.com/csilvestri1/udcb3gy84cns en-us 2017-11-28 14:14:20 UTC 2017-11-29 14:11:52 UTC hello@padlet.com Emily D, Farah, Liz https://padlet.com/csilvestri1/udcb3gy84cns/wish/210939689 Absolute Humidity
Definition- the measure of water vapor(moisture) in the air, regardless of temperature.
Connections to Prior Knowledge-
-Places like the rain forest have humid weather all year round(Climate)
-Warm weather can hold more moisture than cold weather
-Since the air is hot/humid, it will cause the water from any body of water to evaporate.
-Absolute humidity in the atmosphere ranges from near zero to roughly 30 grams per cubic meter when the air is waterlogged at 86 degrees Fahrenheit
-The increase of humidity causes additional global warming]]> 2017-11-28 15:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/csilvestri1/udcb3gy84cns/wish/210939689 Abi O., Shelby, Isys aortiz_22 https://padlet.com/csilvestri1/udcb3gy84cns/wish/210939754
  • Barometric Pressure
    • Atmospheric pressure as indicated by a barometer
  • Connections to Prior Knowledge
    • Weather and Climate
      • High pressure means nice weather
        • Sunny
      • Low pressure means bad weather
        • Cloudy
        • Rainy
    • Water Cycle
      • Low pressure causes precipitation
      • High Pressure causes evaporation
    • Spheres
      • Low pressure causes precipitation, which affects the  hydrosphere
    • Global warming
      • pressure changes caused milder, wetter winters 
      • drought

    Connections to Prior Knowledge-
    Dew point controls precipitation 
    At cooling temperature water vapor condenses into water. This water is called dew.
    When dew point is below freezing or frost point, the water vapor creates frost. 
    A high relative humidity indicates that the dew point is closer to the current air temperature
     an increase in temperature will lead to a decrease in relative humidity.

    • Antarctica because it is always cold
    Temperature - the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch
    • 28 degrees fahrenheit

    • Humidity is the amount of moisture  in the air
    • Humidity can affect the temperature and your hair.
