2. Adiabatic temperature changes
and expansion and cooling
The temperature changes that happens even heat is not
added
Subtracted are called adiabatic temperature changes.

3. Orographic lifting
The air occurs when elevated terrains
mountains act as barriers to air flow
Forcing air to ascend picture from ocw.usu.edu
4. Frontal wedging
boundary between colliding masses
Warm and cold air
When warmer dense air rises
(picture is from geo.huntercuny.edu)
5. Convergence
lifting of air
Its results from the lower atmosphere
It flows together
(picture is from islandnet.com)
6. 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

7. Density differences and stability
and daily weather
Air tends to remain in its original place
When unstable air tends to rise
Happens with all of height

8. Condensation
condensation occurs when the air is above the ground
tiny bits of matter
condensation nuclei

9. 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)
10. High clouds
Low temputures
high latitudes
Flat layers
(picture is from commons.wikimedia.org)
11. Middle clouds
appear in the middle range
larger
denser

13. Fog
Cooing and evaporation
it’s a clouds
Low to the ground
When your in the car you can see this. In the morning .
14. Cold cloud precipitation
formation of precipitation
supercooled clouds
freezing nuclei
different saturation levels of ice and iquid water
15. Warm cloud preciptation
warm clouds drop rain
they join together with smaller droplets
To form a raindrop
16. 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)
17. 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
18. The end
I had learned a lot about clouds and preciptation
from doing this project .
