- Temperature determines the state of energy held in water as the atmosphere transports it.
- Air is at its highest energy state as vapour.
- The quantity of water within air varies temporally and spatially depending upon availability and temperature.
- When air reaches its maximum carrying capacity of water it is saturated.
- Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapour within air as a percentage of the maximum amount it can support if it were saturated at that specific temperature.
Formation of Clouds:
Coalescence Theory:
Water droplets become larger in turbulent air as they collide and merge to form large droplets which eventually fall as precipitation.
Causes of Air Rising and Cooling:
