GEOG 2050 : Geography Unit 6 10 Outside Class Review
Document Summary
Stability : how quickly you"re going to form clouds, or become saturated. Cool the air off to get a cloud clouds have to hold onto water vapor hence the term wet! If we get colder, we reduce the space that can hold water (fills up with water faster) Ex : environmental lapse rate of 20 degrees celsius cools off faster than an environmental lapse rate of 3 degrees celsius. Elr > dry rate = getting water really fast. Whichever cools off faster, reaches saturation fast, cloud forms quickly unstable. Conditionally unstable, if elr is between 10 degrees. Average lapse rate = 6. 4 degrees celsius. Adiabatic lapse rate temperature change without influence of outside factors. Refraction bending of light as it hits a medium. Scattering part of reflection blue = shorter wavelength and shorter wavelengths gets redirected more so we see them better on test write that : blue light scatters.
