McGraw Hill Module 8

- Temperature Inversion - Wind - Humidity and Relative Humidity - Dew Point and Latent Heat - Condensation Level - During the Gallery Walk portion, have students fll out the following questions as they learn from each groups poster. - The troposphere is primarily heated indirectly by energy emitted by Earth’s surface. Draw diagrams showing the path of energy from the sun. Diagrams should show how much energy is absorbed and refected by clouds, how much energy is absorbed by the atmosphere, and how much reaches earth’s surface. Elaborate

- Summarize the relationship

between temperature and pressure and temperature and density.

- Have students use a relative humidity table to determine

whether two areas with the same relative humidity also have the

same temperature and have students explain their answers. - How does water vapor interact with the atmosphere?
