PPT Air, Grade 5, Science
Air is a mixture of gases that forms the atmosphere surrounding Earth. The atmosphere is essential for supporting life on Earth by providing oxygen for animals to breathe and carbon dioxide for plants to photosynthesize. It is composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and trace amounts of other gases. The atmosphere has different layers - the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere - with varying properties like temperature and air density. Air has weight, takes up space, exerts pressure, and is needed for combustion reactions. Various human activities like industry and vehicle emissions release air pollutants like dust, smoke, and harmful gases into the atmosphere.
Clouds
Clouds form when warm air rises and cools, reaching the dew point where water vapor condenses into liquid water or ice droplets. There are three main cloud types - cirrus, stratus, and cumulus - which are classified based on their altitude and appearance. Clouds can combine elements of these types and bring weather like rain or storms. Common cloud types include cumulonimbus thunderheads and nimbostratus rain clouds.
Plant adaptation
This ppt explains the different adaptations of plants and the types based on the habitat. This also explains two types of plants - terrestrial plants and aquatic plants along with the adaptations of plants to live in a particular habitat.
Sea breeze and land breeze
The document discusses sea breezes and land breezes. A sea breeze occurs during the day when the land warms up faster than the ocean, causing cool air from the ocean to blow inland. This creates a shallow cold front and cumulus clouds. At night, a land breeze occurs as the land cools off faster than the ocean, causing warmer air from the ocean to blow back over the land. The temperature differences between the land and ocean drive the changes in air pressure that cause these breezes.
Layers of the atmosphere
The document summarizes the four main layers of Earth's atmosphere:
1) The troposphere, the lowest layer where weather occurs and temperatures decrease with altitude. Most water vapor and clouds are found here.
2) The stratosphere, which contains the ozone layer that absorbs ultraviolet light. Temperature increases with altitude in this layer.
3) The mesosphere, where meteorites burn up before reaching Earth's surface. Temperatures decrease with altitude in this layer.
4) The thermosphere, the uppermost layer where the temperatures sharply increase with altitude and the aurora occurs. Some satellites orbit within the thermosphere.
Clouds and Their Formation
Clouds form when air rises and cools, reaching the dew point where water vapor condenses into liquid water or ice particles. There are three main types of clouds - cumulus, stratus, and cirrus. For clouds to form requires water vapor, condensation nuclei like dust or salt for water to condense onto, and air that is saturated at 100% relative humidity. As water droplets grow larger in clouds from coalescence, they eventually become too heavy and fall as precipitation like rain, snow, or hail.
Seasons Of The Year
The document describes the four seasons of the year - spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It provides details about the weather, length of days and nights, nature, and activities associated with each season. Key details include that spring involves nature waking up and longer days, summer is the hottest with long days, autumn has falling leaves and cooling weather, and winter is the coldest with snow and short days. It asks questions about the seasons and months to help teach about the seasonal changes throughout the year.
Tropical cyclone by Martin
Tropical cyclones develop over warm tropical oceans and are low pressure storm systems characterized by strong winds and heavy rainfall. They form when moist air rises rapidly over warm ocean waters, condenses to form thunderstorms, and the Coriolis effect causes the storms to rotate. Tropical cyclones are categorized based on their wind speeds and can cause extensive damage through high winds, storm surges, and flooding. A notable example is the devastating 1970 Bhola cyclone in Bangladesh, which had wind speeds up to 115 mph and a 33 foot storm surge, resulting in 300,000 to 500,000 fatalities.

Grade 3 Unit 4 Lesson 3 Weather & Climate.pptx
Weather is affected by factors like wind, precipitation, temperature and cloud cover. It changes daily while climate is weather measured over long periods of time. Native Hawaiians recognized two seasons, wet and dry. Hawai'i belongs in a combination of climate zones as it is affected by both tropical air masses and polar air masses moving toward the equator due to its location at mid-latitudes. Climate zones include low, mid and high latitudes dominated by different air masses.
Weather and climate
Weather refers to atmospheric conditions in a specific time and place, while climate describes typical weather in a region over many years. There are five elements of weather: wind, atmospheric conditions, temperature, precipitation, and humidity. Climate is influenced by climatic factors like latitude, altitude, and distance from bodies of water. There are three main climate zones - polar, tropical, and temperate. Climate change due to global warming is raising Earth's temperatures and causing sea levels to rise through melting ice, with potential consequences like drought and species extinction. Proposed solutions include reducing deforestation, pollution, and energy waste.
Air Temperature & Pressure
This document discusses the properties of gases and air. It explains that gases have mass and take up space, have faster moving molecules than solids and liquids, expand to fill their container, have molecules spaced far apart with no bonds or fixed shape, and can be compressed. It then discusses the composition of air, temperature, pressure, density, humidity, and other gas properties.
Cloud formation

What is Fog and Mechanism
Among the precipitation; Fog is the one Variety. This presentation tell about What is Fog and what are the types we mainly consider in Bachelor of Education.
Land and sea breeze
During the day, the sea breeze blows from the sea to land as the air over the land warms up faster than the air over the water. At night, the land breeze blows from land to sea as the land cools down faster than the water due to the water's higher specific heat capacity, causing the air over the water to become warmer and less dense than the air over the land. The document defines and describes the sea breeze and land breeze patterns that occur daily as a result of the differing ways land and water absorb and release heat.
Weather and climate.pptx 2
The document discusses the difference between climate and weather and identifies five main factors that affect climate: distance from the equator, distance from the sea, rainfall, wind direction, and altitude. It provides examples of how each factor influences temperature, such as coastal areas generally being cooler than inland areas due to the moderating effect of the oceans. Places closer to the equator are hotter and receive more rainfall, while polar regions are extremely cold. Higher altitude locations are cooler due to lower temperatures at increased elevations.
Weather & climate project by Matthew Ben Hamed 3.02
This document discusses weather and climate. It defines weather as the short-term atmospheric conditions including temperature, precipitation, wind, and cloud cover. Meteorology is the study of these conditions. A variety of instruments are used to measure and forecast weather, including thermometers, rain gauges, wind vanes, and cloud classification scales. Microclimates within small areas can differ due to physical features, shelter, surface types, and aspect. The water cycle and different types of rainfall like frontal, relief, and convectional rainfall are also explained. High and low pressure systems like anticyclones and depressions impact weather patterns.
Climate vs Weather
This document discusses climate and weather, as well as the global factors that influence climate. It defines climate as the composite weather conditions for a location over a long period, usually 20-30 years. Weather is the short term atmospheric conditions at a place and time. The main global climatic factors discussed are the quality and quantity of solar radiation, the tilt of the Earth's axis, and how radiation is distributed at the Earth's surface based on cosine law, atmospheric depletion, and sunlight duration. Regional climate is influenced by these global factors as well as local geography.
Cloud formation
This document summarizes different types of cloud formation processes and cloud types. It discusses adiabatic temperature changes that cause expansion and cooling, orographic lifting caused by air flowing over elevated terrain, frontal wedging that occurs at storm fronts, and localized convective lifting caused by uneven heating of the surface. It also describes the three main cloud height categories - high, middle, and low clouds - and specific cloud types like cirrus, cumulus, and stratus clouds. Clouds can form through stability or instability in the atmosphere and require water vapor to condense.

Air pressure wind
Air pressure decreases with increasing altitude and is affected by temperature, humidity, and elevation. It is measured using a barometer. Differences in air pressure cause winds to move from high to low pressure areas. Global wind patterns like trade winds and jet streams curve due to the Coriolis effect. Local winds are influenced by geographic features and temperature variations between land and bodies of water. Changes in weather occur when different air masses characterized by their temperature and moisture content meet at fronts like cold fronts and warm fronts, which can lead to thunderstorm formation.
Winds and Wind System
this presentation is all about different kinds of winds and wind system.. hope this will help you a lot in your studies :)
Weather and climate
The document defines key terms related to weather and climate such as weather, climate, season, temperature, humidity, air pressure, and winds. It describes how weather is the short term atmospheric conditions of a place while climate refers to average conditions over a longer period. Seasons result from the Earth's revolution and axis tilt. Temperature, precipitation, air pressure, winds, and visibility are the main elements that determine weather and climate in a given place. Factors like heat, air pressure, winds, and moisture interact to cause weather. Major wind systems like the doldrums, trade winds, horse latitudes, and prevailing westerlies result from differences in heating and the Coriolis effect.
Circulation
The document summarizes global atmospheric circulation patterns. It describes the different scales of wind including macroscale, synoptic, mesoscale, and microscale winds. It discusses land and sea breezes as examples of mesoscale winds. The best simple model of global circulation is a three-celled circulation model in each hemisphere. This model includes the Hadley cell, the Ferrel cell, and the polar cell. The document also describes global pressure patterns and features such as the horse latitudes, trade winds, and doldrums.

Weather and climate
Weather refers to atmospheric conditions over a short period of time, while climate describes average weather patterns over many years. In the Philippines, PAG-ASA monitors and forecasts weather by observing elements like temperature, precipitation, winds, and clouds. Latitude, altitude, topography, and proximity to bodies of water all impact climate by influencing how much solar radiation and moisture an area receives. Different wind systems like the trade winds and polar winds also affect Philippine weather and seasonal climate patterns.
Ppt on monsoon
Monsoon is a seasonal change in winds and precipitation associated with differing heating of land and sea. There are three main types of monsoon: summer monsoon brings heavy rain between April and September as warm air blows from the southwest Indian Ocean toward countries like India; winter monsoon has dominant easterly winds and a strong tendency toward drought; and a dry monsoon occurs between October and April in South and Southeast Asia with rain-bearing winds from May to September and dry winds the rest. Monsoons result from differing annual temperature trends over land and water.
Climate of india
This document provides an overview of India's climate and weather patterns. It discusses that India experiences a tropical monsoon climate characterized by seasonal reversal of winds. The key factors influencing India's climate are discussed as latitude, altitude, pressure systems, distance from the sea, ocean currents and relief features. The seasonal patterns of winter, summer and monsoon seasons are described along with climate variations across different regions of India and mechanisms driving the monsoon system.
Parts of the plants and their functions
The document discusses the main parts and functions of plants. It explains that most plants have three main parts: roots, stems, and leaves. The roots hold the plant in the soil and absorb water and minerals. The stem carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, supports the plant, and can be thick like a tree trunk, thin like a bush, or soft like grass. The leaves make food for the plant using sunlight, air, and water. Flowers are the reproductive part where seeds form, and fruit protects the seeds so new plants can grow.
Meteorology
This document provides an overview of key concepts relating to the structure and processes of Earth's atmosphere. It describes the composition of the atmosphere and how it is made up of different layers including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. It explains how solar energy is transferred to and through the atmosphere using radiation, conduction and convection, driving weather and climate. Temperature, heat, dew point and other meteorological variables are also defined.
Energy transfer in the atmosphere and oceans
The document discusses various ways that energy is transferred within the atmosphere and between the atmosphere and oceans/land. It describes how the sun's radiation is absorbed, reflected, scattered, or transmitted by gases in the atmosphere. Thermal energy is also transferred via conduction, convection, and radiation. Convection currents globally distribute heat. Prevailing winds are influenced by these currents. Ocean currents similarly redistribute warm and cold water around the world through processes like the global conveyor belt. Latent heat absorption and release also influences global climate patterns.

Air 1_AA.pptx
The document discusses the composition and layers of the atmosphere. It notes that the atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen and other gases. Nitrogen is the most plentiful gas but plants cannot use it directly, instead relying on bacteria to fix nitrogen from the air. Carbon dioxide is used by plants for photosynthesis and contributes to the greenhouse effect. The layers of the atmosphere include the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. Weather occurs over short periods in a limited area while climate describes conditions over 30 years. Additional topics covered include temperature, insolation, air pressure, wind systems, rainfall, and the greenhouse effect.
Weather
Weather is determined by complex interactions between factors like wind, temperature, precipitation, and air pressure. These factors create weather patterns like low pressure systems, high pressure systems, and fronts. California's climate is influenced by its geography and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The mountains create orographic lifting that produces rain and snow, while leaving the eastern slopes drier in a rainshadow effect. Changes in weather patterns, like earlier snowmelt, can impact California's water supply and exacerbate drought conditions.
Chapter 15-atmosphere
The document summarizes key aspects of Earth's atmosphere. It describes the atmosphere as a thin layer of air that protects the planet and maintains a balance of absorbed and emitted heat. The atmosphere is made up primarily of nitrogen and oxygen but originally contained more carbon dioxide. Over time, oxygen increased through photosynthesis while other layers like the ozone layer developed. The atmosphere has lower layers like the troposphere where weather occurs and upper layers that absorb sunlight. Gases in the atmosphere contribute to pressure and temperature variations and the protective ozone layer.
Chapter 16 & 17-weather and climate
The document summarizes key concepts about weather and climate. It discusses various weather factors like temperature, wind, humidity and how they are measured. It describes different types of clouds and weather patterns caused by movements of air masses. Severe weather events like tornadoes and hurricanes are also outlined. The passage then explains how meteorologists make weather forecasts using tools like weather maps. Finally, it defines climate, the factors that influence climate zones, and how climate can change over time due to both natural and human-induced causes like the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Weather
Weather is affected by temperature, humidity, air pressure, and wind. These factors are interrelated. A change in one can impact the others. Temperature and air pressure have an inverse relationship - higher temperatures mean lower air pressures as the air expands. Higher temperatures also mean higher humidity as warm air holds more water vapor. Relative humidity decreases with increasing temperature. Wind blows from high to low pressure as air moves to equalize differences. Global wind patterns are caused by uneven heating and pressure differences.
Naturalists at Large - Weather and Us
Weather is determined by a complex cycle of interacting factors including wind, temperature, precipitation, and air pressure. These factors create weather patterns like low pressure systems, high pressure systems, and fronts. California's climate is influenced by its geography and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The coastal fog, mountain precipitation, and rainshadow effect all impact California's weather and availability of water resources, which support its ecosystems and agriculture. As the climate changes, these weather patterns and water resources are also changing, with consequences for landscapes, plants, animals, and humans.

6th Grade Chapter 18 Part 1- atmosphere
The document summarizes key aspects of Earth's atmosphere. It describes the atmosphere as a thin layer of air that protects the planet and regulates its temperature. The original atmosphere contained mostly carbon dioxide and nitrogen with little oxygen, but as organisms evolved and released oxygen through photosynthesis, oxygen levels rose. Today the atmosphere is 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. It also contains small particles and varies in temperature and pressure at different layers. The ozone layer shields the surface from UV rays but is threatened by pollutants. Heat transfers through conduction, convection and radiation in the atmosphere and water cycles between atmosphere and hydrosphere through evaporation and condensation. Uneven heating drives global wind patterns that influence climate and weather.

4.2 4.3
The atmosphere contains gases like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor that make Earth unique. It protects the planet by trapping heat, provides air to breathe, and helps regulate temperatures. Weather describes current conditions like temperature, humidity, air pressure and wind that change daily. These factors are influenced by air pressure differences as warm air rises and cool air sinks, driving wind patterns from high to low pressure areas.
Ch 15 ed
The document summarizes key topics related to the atmosphere and climate:
1) The atmosphere is divided into layers - the troposphere where weather occurs, the stratosphere containing the ozone layer, the mesosphere where meteors burn up, and the thermosphere containing the aurora borealis.
2) Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor trap heat in the lower atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect which influences global temperatures.
3) Weather patterns like monsoons and frontal systems develop from atmospheric circulation and ocean currents, influenced by factors like the Coriolis effect.
4) Natural climate variability occurs on different timescales, but data from ice cores show a close correlation between past

Hydrology presentation on rainfall
The document discusses several key physical properties of water and the water cycle:
1) Water has a unique molecular structure that allows it to exist in solid, liquid, and gas forms on Earth. It takes a significant amount of energy to change between these phases due to hydrogen bonding between molecules.
2) The vapor pressure of water increases with temperature, as warmer air can hold more water vapor. When air reaches saturation, the rate that molecules enter and leave liquid water is equal.
3) Relative humidity compares the actual vapor pressure to the saturation vapor pressure, ranging from 0-100%. Dew point temperature indicates the water content of air.
Breezes
The document discusses various atmospheric phenomena such as air temperature, pressure, and heating. It explains how thermometers are used to measure air temperature and how air is heated by the sun, conduction, and convection. It also discusses specific heat and how cement gets hotter than soil. Additionally, it summarizes sea and land breezes caused by uneven heating of land and sea. Other topics covered include monsoons, trade winds, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), ozone formation and depletion, and the greenhouse effect.

biodiversity.pptx
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, including all genes, species, and ecosystems. For billions of years, a complex web of life has evolved, with millions of species inhabiting different environments and interacting with each other. Biodiversity exists at multiple levels - genetic diversity within species, species diversity between organisms, and ecosystem diversity in biological communities interacting with their environments. Scientists estimate there are around 10 million existing species, though only a small fraction have been identified and cataloged so far. Efforts are underway to preserve samples of genetic material and biodiversity at all levels before more is lost to extinction.

Light_GB.ppt
This document discusses light sources and how light travels. The main natural light source is the sun. Light travels in straight lines and can be reflected, absorbed, or pass through materials. For vision, light enters the eye and is processed by the brain to interpret what is seen based on patterns of light and dark, color, and movement. Color is the result of which wavelengths of light are reflected or absorbed by an object. Shadows form when light is blocked by an opaque object. The position of the sun causes shadows to change positions and lengths throughout the day.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

- 1. Components of Weather Pattern Temperature describes how hot or cold the atmosphere is. The atmosphere absorbs heat energy from the sun. But human activities, such as releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, can also affect the earth’s temperature. Temperature Atmospheric pressure is a result of the weight and density of the air. It changes as air becomes warmer or colder, because the temperature of air affects how dense it is. Warm air molecules have more energy and move further apart, meaning that warm air is less dense than cold air. Atmospheric Pressure Clouds are visible masses of water vapor in our atmosphere. They are formed when water evaporates from places like oceans and lakes, and then condenses when it cools down again. Clouds Wind is the movement of air in the sky. Wind is caused by the different air pressures in our atmosphere. Air from areas of high pressure tries to move into areas of low pressure. The greater the difference between the air pressure, the faster the air moves between the two areas. Wind Humidity describes the amount of water vapor in the air. Water vapor makes up anywhere between 0.1% and 4% of the gases in our atmosphere. Warmer air can carry more water vapor than cooler air, which is why warm tropical climates often feel sticky. Humidity Rain Rain happens when water droplets fall from clouds in the sky. Clouds are full of tiny water droplets, and as they collect more moisture those droplets become heavier and heavier. Eventually, the droplets become too heavy to stay in the sky, and they fall to the ground.
