Adiabatic temperature changes and expansion and cooling The temperature changes that happens even
heat is not added Subtracted are called adiabatic temperature
changes. Picture is from (kidsgeo.com)

Orographic liftingThe air occurs when elevated terrains mountains act as barriers to air flow Forcing air to ascend picture from

Frontal wedging
boundary between colliding masses Warm and cold air When warmer dense air rises (picture is from geo.huntercuny.edu)

Convergence lifting of air Its results from the lower atmosphere It flows together (picture is from islandnet.com)

Localized convective lifting
occurs when unequal heating of earth surface warms a pocket of air It warms more than the surrounding air Lowering the air pockets density(picture is from meted.ucar.edu)

Stability Density differences and stability and daily weather
Air tends to remain in its original placeWhen unstable air tends to rise Happens with all of height (picture is from astoria.com)

Condensation
condensation occurs when the air is above the ground
tiny bits of matter condensation nuclei (picture from kidsgeo.com)

Types of clouds
cirrus clouds (high, white thin,) cumulus clouds ( flat base and rising
towers ) stratus clouds ( cover most of sky ) (picture is from prwatch.org)

High clouds Low temputures high latitudes Flat layers (picture is from commons.wikimedia.org)

Middle clouds
appear in the middle range larger denser (picture is from all star.fiu.edu

Low clouds
low clouds are the clouds low in the air .

Fog Cooing and evaporation it’s a clouds Low to the ground When your in the car you can see this. In the
morning .

Cold cloud precipitation
formation of precipitation supercooled clouds freezing nuclei different saturation levels of ice and iquid
water

Warm cloud preciptation
warm clouds drop rain they join together with smaller dropletsTo form a raindrop

Rain and snow
Rain means drops of water from clouds snow is made up of a six sided ice cyrstels they are heavy (picture is from blog.cannon.snow.com)

sleet, Glaze and hail
sleet is small pieces of hard snow of ice hail is produced by cumunimbus clouds they fall veryy fast from the clouds

The end
I had learned a lot about clouds and preciptation from doing this project .
