Activity C

Today in our activity we read about storms, and how dewpoint and humidity are connected, in the lower part of the country and answered a few questions. We learned how to read weather maps. we also learned about Atmospheric Moisture Advection. i am not real sure how to connect this to my topic of global warming. According to the book it says that the atmosphere helps water vapor move through Earth. so the way i look at it is if we keep up this whole global warming thing we are going to have places become very dry and have droughts because the atmosphere will not be able to move water vapors around and places will not get the water needed to survive. According to Wikipedia A good example of advection is the transport of pollutants or silt in a river: the motion of the water carries these impurities downstream. So in the end i think we should all stop polluting the Earth and then our rivers would have something else to to advect (if that's even a word) throughout the water system. Dew point is the temperature to which a given parcel of air must be cooled, at constant barometric pressure, for water vapor to condense into water. As the humidity rises so does the dewpoint. so if we continue to poison our o-zone layer the humidity will continue to rise right along with the dew point. Think GREEN!!!
Have a good day
