Ground/radiation fog- heat from the ground helps cool the air(?) causing ground fog
Steam fog- heat rise from a pond, for example, and is cooled by the air when the air is colder because of time of year ( eg fall)
Advection fog- forms when winds push humid air over colder ground or water.
Ice fog- ice crystals form when humid air cools below -30 degrees Fahrenheit
Local – sea breads and wild fires for example
Regional- for example, monsoon and chinook
Global- winds that flow constantly around the earth.
Scientists are still unable to explain the balls of floating “ lightening”
The clouds
-cumuliform; rain clouds
Stratiform clouds; cool earth
Orographic clouds; when the air is stable, air rises and can cause thunder storms at the top of mountains.
-cirrus clouds; absorbs infrared from earth and cause green hous gas effect
Nacreous clouds;form at the earths poles and destroys stratospheric ozone
.
Cirrocumulus clouds; whites patches of clouds signaling the coming of rain or snow in a day or two.
Cirrostratus clouds exist at over 20,000 feet and are too thin to hide the moon or sun.
Contrails are long thin clouds formed by airplane engine exhaust.
Altocumulus clouds have white and gray clouds in them and exist between 6500 feet to 20000 feet.
Undulatus asparagus clouds seen with blus sky background.
Altocumulus castellanus clouds that look like turrets of a castle. If they exist in morning cloud foretell rain or thunderstorms later in day
Stratocumulus clouds cover large area of the sky with breaks. They have rounded cumuliform shape
.
Stratus clouds have gray layers. They rarely produce drizzle, small ice crystal and snow grains
.
Nimbostratus clouds dark clouds that appear with rain or snow
Altostratus clouds are sheets and are thin and gray could foretell f a coming storm.
Fair weather cumulus clouds. These small puffy clouds signal dry weather for the early morning. Thunderstorms may occur in afternoon
Cumulus congested clouds towers high in the sky with cauliflower shapes at top. Could grow into thunderstorms.
Cumulonimbus clouds are the only one called a thunderstorm.
Pyrocumulus clouds form over large fires
Billow clouds form wave formation ]in the clouds. Can create ocean waves
.
Supercell thunderstorm clouds are the most dangerous but least common thunderstorm they produce de]adly tornados
.
Shelf and roll clouds break away from parent thunderstorm
Without water our planet would be like mars: wind blowing dust , and large temperature variations.
Are there female and male angels?
They form along the coasts where . Rivers and streams flow into oceans.
The water, Where the fresh water from the streams and rivers flow into salt water is called brackish.
It’s a body of water connected to an ocean but mostly surrounded by land.
The 7 seas were for the ancient Greeks the Adriatic, Aegean, black, caspian, Mediterranean, Red Sea and Persian gulf.
There is the Caribbean Sea made famous by pirates during the 16th and 28th century.
Most waves are caused by the wind
Ocean currents move warn and cold water around the earth. It takes 1000 years for water to make entire trip.
There is one ocean and 5 basins: Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific , and Southern.
All of the earths continents can fit into the Pacific Ocean.
The Atlantic Ocean was named the “sea of Atlas” named after Atlas of Greek mythology.
The Arctic Ocean is the shallowest ocean
The southern ocean is also known as the Antarctic Ocean
The Indian Ocean is the warmest..
So I talk a lot…
