...How do the atmospheric conditions that produce sleet differ from those that produce hail? Sleet forms when there is a layer of above freezing temperatures below cloud base but the temperatures at the surface are below freezing. A snowflake falling out of the cloud will melt in the above freezing layer producing a rain drop. The below freezing surface layer must be thick and cold enough to refreeze the raindrop before reaching the ground. Hail is produced inside a cumulonimbus cloud by accretion of super-cooled liquid water onto a large frozen embryo caught in a strong updraft. Continuous cycles through areas of super-cooled liquid water will cause the hailstone to increase in size until it can overcome the upward vertical velocity and eventually fall to the earth’s surface. What is the difference between freezing rain and sleet? Freezing rain is liquid (super-cooled) that will freeze on contact with objects that are below freezing on the surface. The determining factor between sleet and freezing rain as a precipitation type, is the depth and coldness of the subfreezing layer near the surface. Sleet is usually a transparent or translucent ice ball around .2 inches or less in diameter. When it hits the ground it can bounce. The formation of sleet was discussed in the previous question. Describe how hail might form in a cumulonimbus cloud? Hail is formed when clouds, specifically cumulonimbus clouds, have both high altitudes and powerful updrafts within the condensation...

...which states that the surface of the earth is composed of rigid plates between 5 and 100 kilometers thick. The plates, either oceanic or continental, float on a partially molten layer that allows them to move relative to one another at velocities of a few centimeters per year. Oceanic plates are much younger than continental plates and, in fact, are created continuously along the ridges that line the world's ocean basins. Magma (molten rock) from deep in the earth erupts at the mid-oceanic ridge and cools, forming new sea floor. To make room for the new material, old sea floor is removed from the ocean basins at trenches. Trenches are...

...A Summary of the Hydrologic Cycle The hydrologic cycle begins with the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. As moist air is lifted, it cools and water vapor condenses to form clouds. Moisture is transported around the globe until it returns to the surface as precipitation. Once the water reaches the ground, one of two processes may occur; 1) some of the water may evaporate back into the atmosphere or 2) the water may penetrate the surface and become groundwater. Groundwater either seeps its way to into the oceans, rivers, and streams, or is released back into the atmosphere through transpiration. The balance of water that remains on the earth's surface is runoff, which empties into lakes, rivers and streams and is carried back to the oceans, where the cycle begins again. Lake effect snowfall is good example of the hydrologic cycle at work. Below is a vertical cross-section summarizing the processes of the hydrologic cycle that contribute to the production of lake effect snow. The cycle begins as cold winds (horizontal blue arrows) blow across a large lake, a phenomena that occurs frequently in the late fall and winter months around the Great Lakes. Evaporation of warm surface water increases the amount of moisture in the colder, drier air flowing immediately above the lake surface. With continued evaporation, water vapor in the cold air condenses to form ice-crystal clouds, which are transported toward shore. | By the time these clouds reach the shoreline,...

...navigation, and building. Geometry, as we know it is actually known as Euclidean geometry which was written well over 2000 years ago in Ancient Greece by Euclid, Pythagoras, Thales, Plato and Aristotle just to mention a few. The most fascinating and accurate geometry text was written by Euclid, and was called Elements. Euclid's text has been used for over 2000 years! Geometry is the study of angles and triangles, perimeter, area and volume. It differs from algebra in that one develops a logical structure where mathematical relationships are proved and applied. In part 1, you will learn about the basic terms associated with Geometry. Terms (Undefined) 1. Point Points show position. A point is shown by one capital letter. In the example below, A, B, and C are all points. Notice that points are on the line. 2. Line A line is infinite and straight.

...1. What is the dry adiabatic lapse rate (give a number with units)? The cooling and warming of unsaturated air of 10C every 1000 meters or about 5.5F for every 1000 feet. The rate of change of any meteorological factor with altitude, esp atmospheric temperature, which usually decreases at a rate of 0.6°C per 100 metres (environmental lapse rate). Unsaturated air loses about 1°C per 100 m (dry adiabatic lapse rate), whereas saturated air loses an average 0.5°C per 100 m (saturated adiabatic lapse rate) 2. Is the moist adiabatic rate greater than or less than the dry adiabatic lapse rate? Less .During saturated ascent, the release of latent heat via condensation partly offsets the conversion of thermal energy into work as parcels expand, reducing the cooling rate of the parcel to less than the dry adiabatic lapse rate (that observed for unsaturated parcels.) The saturated adiabatic lapse rate is 6 degrees per 1,000 meters. The dry adiabatic rate is 10 degrees per 1,000 meters. When a mass of saturated air rises in the atmosphere adiabatically,its temperature falls with height at a rate which is considerably less than the dry adiabatic lapse rate on account of continuous addition of the latent heat of condensation that accompanies the adiabatic cooling of saturated air and the consequent separating out of excess water vapour in the form of drops of liquid water. 3. A parcel of air becomes cooler than its environment if lifted. Is this a stable or unstable condition?...
