Forms of Precipitation By Flavio Gutierrez Precipitation Any

Forms of Precipitation By: Flavio Gutierrez

Precipitation • Any product of condensation of atmospheric water vapour • Main forms of Precipitation: – Rain – Snow – Hail – Sleet

Humidity • Relative Humidity – Amount of Water Vapor in the air • Dew Point – Water condenses at ground level Upload. wikimedia. org

4 ways that causes air to rise • Orographic Lifting – Air is forced to rise over a mountainous barrier • Frontal Wedging – Warmer, less dense air is forced over cooler denser air • Convergence – Pile-up of horizontal airflow resulting in an upward flow • Localized Convective Lifting – Unequal surface heating causes localized pockets of air to rise geogrify. net

Basis of Cloud Formation • Adiabatic Temperature – 10°c per 1000 meters • Adiabatic Cooling and Condensation – Occurs when air is uplifted from the surface

Types of Precipitation • Rain – Liquid water in a form of droplets – Most Common • Snow – Crystalline water ice • Hail – Big ball of ice • Sleet – Small translucent ball of ice – Ice pellets www. easttennesseewildflowers. com
