Why does a cumulonimbus have to have warmmoist air to create a thunderstorm?
BECAUSE THE WARM AIR CARRIES THE POSSITIVE ELLECTRONS
Why does the leeward side of a range have a dry climate?
As air moves from the windward side to the leeward side, it loses moisture.
What is the difference between deliquescence and efflorescence?
Deliquescence is the process in which a substance absorbs moisture from the air until it dissolves in the absorbed water, forming a solution. Efflorescence, on the other hand, occurs when a substance loses water of crystallization and forms a powdery deposit on the surface as the water evaporates.
Why does the leeward side of the range have a dry climate?
The leeward side of a mountain range is in a rain shadow, which occurs when air loses moisture as it rises over the mountain and descends on the other side, creating a dry climate. This descending air warms up and cannot hold as much moisture, resulting in less precipitation on the leeward side.
Does an air conditioner add humidity to a room?
The simple answer is no. What an air conditioner does, is cool air (obviously). When air is cooled however, it loses its ability to hold moisture. Therefore, the relative humidity (Water vapor/Capacity) of the air in the room will increase despite the fact that no moisture was added.
Why does hot sugar syrup turn hard when cooled?
it loses it moisture, use a orange peel to keep it fresh, or bread
What happens to Calcium chloride in air?
When exposed to air, calcium chloride can absorb moisture and become hydrated, forming a white, powdery substance. It is hygroscopic, meaning it has a strong affinity for water molecules in the air. This property allows calcium chloride to be used as a desiccant to remove excess moisture from the air.
What is effloroscent?
Efflorescent refers to a substance that loses moisture and forms a powdery deposit on its surface. This phenomenon often occurs in salts and minerals when they are exposed to air.
What happen air as it is cooled?
It loses moisture if cooled below its dew point. It becomes more dense, and that causes it to move toward areas where the air is less dense.
Why is the climate relatively dry on the downwind side of most mountain ranges?
As air moves up a mountain range, it cools and releases moisture, leading to precipitation on the windward side. By the time the air descends on the downwind side, it has already lost much of its moisture, resulting in drier conditions. This process is known as the rainshadow effect.
What is a dry area created when warm moist air loses its moisture?
The area, notably the regions downwind of a mountain range, is called the rain shadow and is responsible for several notable deserts such as the Tibetan Plateau and Gobi Desert in Asia, and the Mojave Valley and Death Valley in the US.
How does air temperature affect precipitation?
Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. When the air has reached "saturation point" (ie. it cannot hold any more moisture), it is more likely to cause precipitation as the oversaturated air forms moisture droplets that fall as precipitation. One of the major causes of precipitation is when warm air cools rapidly (for example, when it rises after hitting a mountain front or other landmass). As the warm air cools, it loses its ability to retain moisture and becomes saturated, thus creating precipitation.
