When the ice crystals fall down the wind will push them back up to the clouds and will do that numerous times. When they get to heavy the wind won't be able to do that so it pushes them down to earth causing ice storm.]]> 2018-07-25 02:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/akerehoma/vhro5hjsjnki/wish/271044381 akerehoma https://padlet.com/akerehoma/vhro5hjsjnki/wish/271045140 Same as hail but without the wind forcing it back into the cloud. ]]> 2018-07-25 02:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/akerehoma/vhro5hjsjnki/wish/271045140 akerehoma https://padlet.com/akerehoma/vhro5hjsjnki/wish/271045943 A drought happens when

This heat radiates upwards. As the warm air rises it expands. As it expands, it cools down. The colder air becomes denser and sinks back toe earth. We experience this circulation of air as wind (hau).]]> 2018-07-26 02:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/akerehoma/vhro5hjsjnki/wish/271151227 akerehoma https://padlet.com/akerehoma/vhro5hjsjnki/wish/272972119 The weather maps we see on TV and in the newspaper are called "surface charts".

These winds push the warm air up like a funnel and cool air rushes in to replace it. As the warm air rises it cools, forming water vapour and then clouds, leading to rain.]]> 2018-08-14 02:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/akerehoma/vhro5hjsjnki/wish/272972789 akerehoma https://padlet.com/akerehoma/vhro5hjsjnki/wish/274196389 Lightning: Lightning starts from thunder. Thunder is when clouds in the sky turn into cumulonimbus and then the temperature changes. Then a lightning bolt comes out of the clouds. The impact of that is that sometimes it electrocutes trees and start a fire.

Tornadoes: A tornado starts when it is a very windy day. The tornado forms when strong currents of air is lifted into the air. When the tornado is formed the sky is usually dark. 

tsunami: A tsunami occurs when a big earthquake has happened near the sea. It also occurs when a underwater volcano is erupting.

Evaporation from ocean, lakes and rives, to transpiration to condensation to precipitation to surface runoff. That is the water cycle.


2. Cumulus- fluffy like a marshmallow also piled up. 
cirrus- is wispy and look like a horses tail. 
stratus- is like a sheet, layer or blanket of clouds.

3. Isobars show lines that are equal amount of atmospheric pressure. 

4. When the pressure is low, the air is free to rise into the atmosphere where it cools and condenses. This condensation forms clouds made of water droplets and ice crystals around dust particles in the sky. Eventually these droplets and ice fall as rain. 

5. When a large temperature difference occurs in a vertical column in the atmosphere lightning forms. ]]> 2018-08-23 01:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/akerehoma/vhro5hjsjnki/wish/274747490 akerehoma https://padlet.com/akerehoma/vhro5hjsjnki/wish/274749716 2018-08-23 01:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/akerehoma/vhro5hjsjnki/wish/274749716
