Based on what we know so far, why is more rain forming over West Ferris than East Ferris?
CHAPTER 3 INVESTIGATION QUESTION
Why is more water vapor getting cold over West Ferris than East Ferris?
1
Question 6
6.
These temperatures are measured at Earth’s surface, which is the bottom of the atmosphere. Today, we’ll investigate the atmosphere to see how it could be influencing the weather in East Ferris and West Ferris.
We’re going to create models of two different heights in the atmosphere to think about what happens to water vapor up high in the atmosphere compared to lower down in the atmosphere.
Question 7
7.
Make a prediction! What do you think will happen in the models and why?
Directions: Read the page on the bottom from Water Encyclopedia to find information about temperatures in the atmosphere!
Important thing to know, just ONE kilometer is about 3,280 feet or the length of about 11 football fields!
