What are the two characteristics of an air mass you must know in order to identify it?
Moisture and Temperature
What happens to relative humidity when temperature rises?
When temperature rises, the capacity of air to hold water vapor increases. Consequently, the relative humidity decreases because the amount of moisture present in the air remains the same, but it is spread out over a larger volume.
What increases airs' ability to hold water vapour?
Temperature is the main variant of air's ability to hold moisture. The warmer the air the more water it can hold without condensation.
What makes the temperature?
Its the weather and the moisture
What is sensible heat without moisture?
Sensible heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance. When determining the heat of a vapor, moisture must be considered as it removes heat from the vapor (in order to heat the moisture [water vapor] to the ambient temperature). Dry steam has no moisture. Dry air has no moisture (a physical improbability). Air normally has moisture determined as relative humidity. This humidity [water vapor] must be heated with the air. Then the moisture heat absorption must be subtracted from the whole to determine the heat absorption of the air without moisture, expressed as heat per unit per degree (often 0.24 btu per dry standard cubic foot per degree F for air). Any moisture in the air increases the heat necessary to raise the temperature by about 1 btu per pound of moisture per degree F. (0.004 btu per gram of moisture per degree F). This increased heat requirement becomes more evident as air is compressed, and the moisture is removed by condensation.
How does moisture affects temperature?
it is usually that when the temperature increases, so does the moisture in the air....
If the air temperature stays the samewhat happens to the relative humidity when the amount of moisture increases?
Relative humidity increases.
How does air temperature affect moisture content?
Air can hold finite amount of moisture in a given volume of air. When temperature increases the space between the molecules increases letting more moisture accumulating in the atmosphere.How ever this depends on the local water bodies. Moisture in air is expressed as Relative humidity . It has no units as it is a percentage.
The amount of moisture air can hold increases as the temperature of the air gets?
warmer
Temperature in the air is increased by the process of moisture condensation?
Yes, temperature in the air has more moisture content . Due to the condensation of particles in the humidity liberates the particle which has high heat particles which increases the temperature.
What makes a snowfall a heavy one?
Available moisture, and temperature in the air.
Name three things that effect air pressure?
temperature, water vapor, and elevation.
What causes mold to increasedecrease?
mold increases by moisture and it decreases by lack of moisture. mold increases by moisture and it decreases by lack of moisture.
What are two things that increases humidity?
In terms of RELATIVE humidity, you can either add moisture to the air or lower the temperature.
What are five factors that effect how fast weathering happens?
1. temperature 2.moisture 3.elevation 4.slope 5. living things

How can relative humidity increase diffusion rate?
Relative humidity increases when the amount of moisture air can hold increases. The increase can be caused by the introduction of more moist air, OR a temperature drop of the air/moisture mixture without a loss of moisture. Colder air will hold less moisture than warm air; as the temperature goes down the amount of moisture relative to what the air can hold increases.
