air - the mixture of gases surrounding Earth, air pressure - the force extended on a surface by the mass of the air above it, air mass - one huge body of air that has relatively uniform temperature and humidity, atmosphere - the layer of gases surrounding Earth- its layers include the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere, axis - an imaginary axle that a planet spins on, barometer - a weather tool that measures air pressure, climate change - the change in our climate due to increased greenhouse gases and energy usage, condensation - the process by which water vapor changes into liquid water, usually on a surface, conduction - energy transfer by contact between particles, convection - energy transfer during which hot fluid rises and cold fluid sinks, creating a cycle, Coriolis effect - the cause of winds near the equator in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to curve west, dew point - the temperature at which air is saturated with water vapor and vapor condenses into liquid, density - the compactness of a substance, doldrums - the calm area around the equator, energy transfer - the movement of energy from one place or form to another, evaporation - the process by which liquid water changes into water vapor, fluid - a substance that can flow, such as a gas or liquid, global warming - a worldwide warming trend on Earth that affects global weather, greenhouse gas - a gas that absorbs and radiates energy in the atmosphere, trapping thermal energy, gyre - a large system of rotating ocean currents, Hadley cell - a huge convection cell that covers much of Earth at the equator, humidity - water vapor in the air, insulation - material that can reduce energy transfer, jet stream - a narrow band of fast moving high altitude wind flowing west to east that affects weather conditions, radiation - energy that is radiated or transmitted through space in the form of rays, waves or particles, solar angle - the angle at which light from the sun strikes the surface of Earth, water cycle - the repeating sequence of condensation and evaporation of water on Earth, causing clouds and rain and other forms of precipitation, weather - the condition of the air around us, transpiration - the continuous process by which water travels through plants and releases as water vapor, state - a kind or form of matter- solid, liquid, gas,
