Precipitation - ANSWER-the input to our hydrologic cycle lapse rates - ANSWER-Rates at which air cools and warms. Ideal Gas Law - ANSWER-PV=nRT; predicts that air temp drops at high elevations because air pressure is lower cold air: - ANSWER-holds less water vapor than warm air saturation vapor pressure - ANSWER-Maximum amount of water air will hold (warm air hold more water than cold air) saturated vapor pressure = actual vapor pressure at - ANSWER-15 degrees C General Atmosph...

The energy supplying a mid latitude (extratropical) cyclone can come from both the potential energy contained in air mass temperature contrasts and oceanic fluxes of heat (sensible and latent), while tropical cyclones are powered only by ocean heat fluxes - primarily latent heat. Correct Answer True East Coast cyclonic storms are efficient precipitation producers because of proximity to the warm Atlantic ocean, where ocean moisture fluxes are very high. Correct Answer True Compared to hurr...
