How did the lab activities help you answer the lesson question, "How do atmospheric conditions influence weather patterns?" What did you learn from conducting this lab?
Answers
In the lab, I discovered the air pressure, air temperature, and relative humidity conditions that create snow, rain, thunderstorms, fog, and clear skies. I learned that low-pressure areas usually experience snowy, rainy, and stormy weather, and that high-pressure areas usually experience either foggy or sunny weather. Knowing how these atmospheric conditions influence weather help weather forecasters predict weather patterns through maps and other information.
Answer: (Summarize these into your own words)
Specific atmospheric conditions bring about specific types of weather and weather patterns.
Knowing how atmospheric conditions affect weather patterns helps in predicting weather.
Weather maps have a lot of information that help people understand and forecast weather.
