Is the air in the room saturated or unsaturated?
If it is humid it is saturated. If it is dry it is unsaturated.
What two properties can be used to describe air mass?
Tempature and humidity are almost always the 2 traits given, even if the terms are vague, such a as a warm moist air mass or a cold dry air mass. The terms are in reference to the air mass in an area before the new one being described.
What percentage of humidity is it when the air is saturated?
100%
What do you call the temperatures at which air becomes saturated?
humidity
If the mass of a fixed volume of air increases does the density become more or less dense?
less dense
What will happen if the mass of warm saturated air cools down?
When a mass of warm saturated air cools down the water vapor in the air is precipitated out causing either rain, snow or maybe fog
When an air mass holds as much vapor as it can at that temperature?
It is saturated.
When saturated air is warmed?
When saturated air is warm, it creates an unstable air mass. As the moisture content rises, the humidity rises as well. This can lead to warm and humid conditions.
What do we call the temperature at which air become saturated?
the dew point!
What might happen next when an air mass cools to the point where it becomes saturated?
Precipitation
What are two ways for air to become saturated?
From increased evaporation or from a drop in the temperature.
What is meant by the term dewpoint''''?
The temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated.
What forms when air mass becomes saturated with water?
This will cause condensation. You could get a cloud or dew.
Air always becomes saturated when it rises and cools. true or false?
False - it always cools, but it won't cool to its dew point if the air is dry enough
Do clouds form when air rises and then the become saturated?
Typically, yes. As air rises it cools, which can cause moisture in it to condense.
What is saturated air?
Saturated air is air that has all the water vapor that it can hold.
What it means if the air is saturated?
Saturated air is air that has all the water vapor that it can hold.
