Understanding Severe Weather: Cloud Formation and the States of Water

This lecture explores the essential processes involved in the formation of clouds and precipitation influenced by mountains, frontal wedging, convection, and convergence. It emphasizes the role of adiabatic cooling and temperature changes in shaping weather patterns. Additionally, it covers the three states of water — liquid, solid, and gas — detailing how evaporation transforms liquid to gas and how condensation converts gas back to liquid. Gain insight into the dynamic nature of the atmosphere and the water cycle to comprehend severe weather events better.

Presentation Transcript

    1. Unit 9: Severe Weather Lecture 1 Objectives: E4.3f - Describe how mountains, frontal wedging (including dry lines) convection, and convergence form clouds and precipitation. E4.3g - Explain the process of adiabatic cooling and adiabatic temperature changes to the formation of clouds.

    2. States of Water? Three states of water : 1)Liquid 2)Solid 3)Gas Evaporation Change from a liquid to a gas Condensation Change from a gas to a liquid.

    3. Evaporation
