This science power point discusses different types of air temperature changes and lifting mechanisms. It covers adiabatic temperature changes during expansion and cooling of unsaturated air. It also discusses orographic lifting of air over higher terrain which can produce rain or snow, as well as localized convective lifting. The presentation finally touches on stability and density differences as they relate to daily weather patterns.

2. Adiabatic temp. changes and
expansion and cooling
• Unsaturated air
• When it saturates the air it is called DRY
ADIABATIC RATE.

3. Orographic Lifting
• This is air that forms on higher terrains.
• Can cause rain or snow.

6. Localized Convective Lifting

7. Stability (density diffrences and
stability and daily weather)
