Essential Question What factors affect the weather?

○ What are some Properties of Air?

○ What Instruments Measure Air Pressure?

○ How Does Altitude Affect Air Pressure and Density?

Page 3: Chapter 5

Page 4: Chapter 5

What are some Properties of Air?

Density: the amount of mass in a given volume of air.

More molecules = more density Fewer molecules = less density

Because air has mass, it also has other properties, including density and pressure.

Page 5: Chapter 5

What are some Properties of Air?

Pressure: is the result of the weight of a column of air pushing on an area

The weight of air above your desk = the weight of a school bus!

Air doesn’t crush your desk because the air molecules push in all directions.

Because air has mass, it also has other properties, including density and pressure.

What Instruments Measure Air Pressure?

Baro- means “weight”What do you think meter means?

Amount / Measure

Page 8: Chapter 5

What Instruments Measure Air Pressure?

A Barometer is an instrument used to measure air pressure.

Two kinds of barometers Mercury & Aneroid (without liquid)

How Does Altitude Affect Air Pressure and Density?

Altitude or elevation is the distance above sea level.

Air Pressure Decreases as Altitude Increases.

As Air Pressure Decreases Density Decreases.

Essential Question What factors affect the weather?

○ What causes Wind?

Page 18: Chapter 5

Page 176

Page 19: Chapter 5

Differences in Air Pressure Differences in air pressure cause

air to move. Wind is movement of air parallel

to the Earth’s surface. Differences in air pressure are

caused by unequal heating of the atmosphere

Page 20: Chapter 5

Page 177

Page 21: Chapter 5

Measuring Wind Winds are described by their direction

and speed! How can you measure wind speed?

Anemometer

Page 22: Chapter 5

Page 178

Page 23: Chapter 5

Wind-chill Factor Wind can

cause increased cooling.

The stronger the wind, the colder you feel!

Page 24: Chapter 5

Local Winds Winds blowing over short distances. Unequal heating of the Earth’s

surface in a small area.

Page 25: Chapter 5

Page 179

Page 26: Chapter 5

Coriolis effect The way the Earth's rotation makes

winds curve.

Page 27: Chapter 5

Global winds The movement

of air between the equator and the poles

Page 28: Chapter 5

The three major global wind belts.1. trade winds2. prevailing westerlies3. polar easterlies

Page 29: Chapter 5

Horse latitudes Area near the Equator where warm air rises. Little or no wind.(The trade winds meet at the doldrums)

Belt of calm air at about 30 degrees north and south. Sailors ran out of food and threw their horses overboard here.

Relative Humidity Lesson 6

Page 34: Chapter 5

Essential Question What factors affect the weather?

○ What Is Relative Humidity and how Is It Measured?

Page 35: Chapter 5

Page 180

Page 36: Chapter 5

What is Relative Humidity? Humidity is the amount of Water

Vapor in the air! Relative Humidity is the percentage

of water vapor that is in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a particular temperature.

Page 37: Chapter 5

Page 181

Page 38: Chapter 5

How do you measure relative Humidity? Relative Humidity can be measured by using an instrument

called a psychrometer.

2 thermometers dry & wet. When it is “slung” air blows over the thermometers. Wet bulb thermometer is cooled by evaporation. When humidity is high this does not occur. When humidity is low the temperature drops. Relative humidity is found by comparing the two

temperatures.
