The air moving down the leeward slope of mountains creates a rain shadow effect where precipitation is reduced. As clouds rise above the dew point on the windward side of mountains, condensation occurs leading to precipitation. Cumulus clouds form and the sun evaporates water in the hydrologic cycle.

Types of fog lrg
This document discusses different types of fog and their formation. It describes radiation fog, which forms at night from the cooling of land surfaces. It also discusses advection fog, which forms when moist air moves over a cooler surface, as well as upslope and valley fogs caused by air cooling as it rises over terrain. Several other fog types are mentioned, including frontal and precipitation fogs associated with rain. The document concludes with a short poem about fog by Carl Sandburg.
The Water Cycle
The document describes the four main stages of the water cycle: precipitation, infiltration, evaporation, and transpiration. Precipitation occurs when it rains or snows. Infiltration is when the ground absorbs precipitation below the surface. Evaporation happens when heat from the sun turns water from the ground into vapor in the sky. Through transpiration, water vapor in the sky condenses into clouds and the cycle repeats.
Clouds and fog
Tiny particles in the air called hygroscopic nuclei can cause water vapor to condense and form clouds. Clouds are classified by their appearance and altitude into low, middle, and high clouds. Low clouds include stratus, nimbostratus, and stratocumulus and form near the surface. Middle clouds such as altocumulus and altostratus form between 7,000 to 20,000 feet. High clouds like cirrus, cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus are made of ice crystals and form above 20,000 feet. Different cloud types can indicate upcoming weather conditions.
Visibility lrg
This document discusses vessel speed and safety at sea. It states that every vessel shall proceed at a safe speed to take proper action to avoid collisions and stop within a safe distance based on conditions like visibility, traffic, vessel manageability, hazards, and draft. In determining a safe speed, factors like state of visibility, traffic density, vessel handling characteristics, background lighting, wind/sea conditions, and navigational hazards must be considered.
Types of fog
Fog forms through three main processes: radiation fog, advection fog, and upslope fog. Radiation fog occurs at night in clear, humid conditions as the ground cools. Advection fog forms when warm, moist air moves over colder surfaces. Upslope fog develops as humid air rises up sloping land, cooling adiabatically. Each type has distinguishing characteristics in terms of formation, thickness, duration and location.
Fog
This document discusses the four main types of fog: radiation fog, which forms at night when the ground cools and humid air condenses; advection fog, which forms over oceans when warm, moist air moves over cooler surfaces; upslope fog, which occurs when moist air is pushed up mountains; and evaporation fog, which forms when cold air moves over warm water and adds vapor to the air. Each type of fog has specific environmental conditions that cause its formation.
Clouds lrg
The document discusses the four basic cloud types: cirrus, stratus, cumulus, and nimbus. Cirrus clouds are thin and wispy, while stratus clouds are flat and close to the ground. Cumulus clouds are puffy and can develop towers bringing thunderstorms. Nimbus clouds produce rain. The clouds are further classified by height into high, middle, and low-level clouds. Common cloud types are described along with different forms of precipitation.

Depressions lrg
Depressions, also known as lows, play an important role in weather systems. They form along polar fronts where cold air meets warm air, bringing rain and strong winds. Depressions follow a life cycle of about 2-5 days as they develop from small waves in polar fronts into mature low pressure systems with cold fronts catching up to warm fronts. Fully developed depressions have a counterclockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect. They can range in size from 150km to 3000km and travel up to 1000km per day, affecting weather over oceans and western continental landmasses.

Clouds are formed when warm air rises and cools, causing water vapor to condense on particles in the air. There are three main categories of clouds based on altitude - high, middle, and low clouds. High clouds like cirrus are wispy and predict fair weather, while middle clouds like altostratus often precede rain or snow. Low clouds such as stratus are uniform gray sheets that can produce light precipitation. Cumulus clouds are puffy fair weather clouds that can develop into storm clouds. Fog is a cloud on the ground composed of water droplets. Different types of fog form through processes like cooling or evaporation.
Types of clouds
This document discusses different types of clouds based on their properties and formation. It describes 10 main cloud types including cirrus, stratus, cumulus and nimbostratus clouds. These cloud types are grouped into high, middle and low clouds based on their average altitude. High clouds like cirrus are made of ice crystals while middle and low clouds contain mostly water droplets. Clouds form through the heating and rising of air masses which leads to the condensation of water vapor. Different cloud formations signal upcoming weather changes or precipitation.
Cloud Power Point
Cirrus clouds are thin and wispy, moving from west to east and usually indicating fair weather. Stratus clouds are gray clouds that may cover the sky and resemble fog, sometimes drizzling without reaching the ground. Cumulus clouds are puffy and cotton-like, growing upward and potentially developing into thunderstorms. The document provides descriptions of different cloud types and a game to test cloud identification.

Clouds and weather
This document discusses different types of clouds and the weather they bring. It explains that clouds are made of small water or ice droplets and form when water vapor condenses. Cirrus clouds are high clouds made of ice crystals that usually bring fair weather. Cumulus clouds are puffy clouds that can produce rain or thunderstorms if they become cumulonimbus clouds. Stratus clouds are low-lying blankets of clouds that usually bring rain or snow. Mammatus clouds form below cumulonimbus clouds and indicate severe weather. Lenticular clouds look like alien spaceships near mountains but usually do not bring severe weather. Fog is also a cloud that forms close to the ground.
Types of clouds
Cirrus clouds form at high altitudes and indicate deteriorating weather conditions. They appear wispy and white or light gray. Cumulus clouds form at low altitudes and have puffy, cotton-like appearances. They can grow into storm clouds. Nimbus clouds produce precipitation that reaches the ground as rain, hail, snow or sleet. Stratus clouds are low-level, uniform clouds that may produce light drizzle or snow.

Cloud Types Presentation
There are three main types of clouds - stratus, cirrus, and cumulus - which form in different ways and can be used to predict weather. Stratus clouds form in layers when warm air rises over cooler air, and can produce rain or snow. Cumulus clouds have flat bottoms and puffy tops, and usually indicate fair weather but sometimes rain. Cumulonimbus clouds are large thunderheads that bring thunderstorms and occasionally hail. Cirrus clouds form high in the sky and usually mean good weather is coming, though they may also signal an upcoming change.
Cloud classification and characteristics
This document discusses cloud classification and describes the different types of clouds. It begins by explaining the Latin prefixes used to classify clouds by altitude, such as "cirro-" for high-level clouds above 20,000 feet composed of ice crystals. Mid-level clouds between 6,500 and 20,000 feet use the prefix "alto-", and can contain water, ice, or a mix. Low clouds below 6,500 feet do not use a prefix. The document then describes the main types of high, mid, and low clouds such as cirrus, altostratus, stratocumulus, and cumulonimbus clouds. It explains the characteristic appearances and formations of each cloud type.

Ballymun was a housing estate built in the 1960s on the north side of Dublin to rehouse residents from the city's inner city. It originally housed young families but over time lacked amenities, shops, recreation, and green spaces. The flats became poorly maintained with broken lifts and bad insulation. Unemployment was high and education levels low, leading to social problems and degradation. By the 1990s, Ballymun had a poor image and run-down appearance. In 1997, Ballymun Regeneration Limited launched a renewal project that demolished the flats and built 5000 new homes, added community facilities, parks, a town center, jobs, and improved transport and security while involving the community.
Economic activities
Economic activities rely on natural resources like water, soil, and rocks that are either renewable through natural processes or non-renewable and finite. Natural resources found in nature can be used for economic gain. Some resources like water are renewable through the hydrologic cycle while others like rocks are non-renewable and their supply is limited.
Functional zones Dublin
This document discusses the different functional zones that are commonly found within cities, including residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and others. It asks about the functional zones in Dublin, noting that the central business district (CBD) contains high-rise buildings and is where commercial activities are focused. It provides examples of different functional zones to view on Google Earth in London, such as the CBD in the City of London, shopping areas on Oxford Street, and industrial areas in the East End and Park Royal.
Why study population?
Population growth is putting pressure on natural resources as the world reaches 7 billion people. More land is needed for housing and agriculture, requiring increased deforestation and oil drilling to support transportation needs. However, protecting endangered species habitats and limiting family sizes could help balance population against available resources on Earth. Controlling diseases is not an ethical solution to support a rising global population long term.
What are the different industries called?
There are three main types of industries: heavy industries, light industries, and footloose industries. Heavy industries like shipbuilding and car factories need to locate near raw materials. Light industries like electronics manufacturing do not require proximity to raw materials. Footloose industries have flexibility in where they locate based on other factors like available workforce, infrastructure, and business costs. The document asks questions about defining light and heavy industries, why light industries are also called footloose, and for examples of multinational companies in Ireland and reasons for their locations.
Peat
Peat is partially decayed plant matter that accumulates in wetland areas called peatlands. It covers about a sixth of Ireland's area, mainly in the western regions, in two types of bogs - raised bogs and blanket bogs. While peat harvesting has traditionally been done manually, mechanization over the last century has increased production rates and reduced labor needs. However, increased exploitation of peatlands has resulted in over half of Ireland's original peatland areas being lost. There is debate around balancing peat usage with protection of these important habitats versus transitioning to renewable energy alternatives like wind power.
Oil and natural gases
This document discusses oil, natural gas, and their exploitation. It begins by defining renewable and non-renewable resources, using oil as an example of non-renewable. It then describes how the discovery of oil in Saudi Arabia transformed the country from poor to wealthy and provided citizens a high standard of living. It introduces multinational companies (MNCs) that conduct expensive oil and gas exploration. The document outlines the exploration process and notes large deposits have been found off Ireland's coast. It discusses the Kinsale Gas Field and benefits it provides Ireland. Finally, it notes potential problems with oil and gas and reasons for conflict over exploitation like the Corrib Gas Field project.

Rome is the largest city in Italy and a popular tourist destination due to sites from the Roman Empire and Vatican City. The northern cities of Milan, Turin, and Genoa are among the six most populated cities in Italy, with Milan having many jobs in fashion, automobiles, and other industries. In contrast, southern Italy has sparse population outside of a few major cities like Naples, Bari, and Catania, with the remote island of Sardinia having very little population due to its isolation and harsh climate.
Isabel kearns
Italy has an unevenly distributed population, with most people living in the north along borders and major cities, or along the coasts. The population density is affected by the Apennine mountains dividing the country, droughts in the south, and historically important factors like transportation and trade routes.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like depression and anxiety.
Factors influencing population growth
The most important factor influencing population growth is food supply. Agricultural revolutions like crop rotation and mechanization, as well as genetically modified crops, pesticides, and selective breeding, have helped increase the global food supply. As countries develop, women become more educated, gain more equality and independence, and have lower birth rates. Technological advancements also contribute to lower death rates.

Rain
Cirrus clouds form when warm air cools. Warm air is lighter than cold air so it rises over cold air, causing frontal rain along warm and cold fronts within depressions. The document was authored by Claus and Stephen.
Rain
Air rises over mountains, cools and condenses the moisture-laden winds blowing in from the sea, forming cumulus clouds that release rainfall, providing relief to Tom and Emma.
