Document Summary

:tendency of the atmosphere promotes or supplies vertical motion. Air movement 1m/s--> most is a few cm/s. Potential : relates to attraction bw objects/energy associated with position. Sensible energy or heat: energy on molecular (micro) scale. Binding energy: latent energy bonds low graded molecules. Sensible heat: when you have in t. A in internal e can produce a t or a phase or both. Very high c for water due to large amount of h bonding (strong) Qtotal=qwarming ice +qmelt ice +q warming water +q vaporizing water + q warming vapor= Bonding neds to be change from liquid to gas is harder to break vs. solid to liquid bonding decrease energy to loss than break. Takes energy to go from liquid to gas so air supplies energy lossens bonding. Taken energy from surrounding environment ing losing therefore. Conversion of potential to kinetic e and vice versa.
