Activity c

At the begging In the activity Wes c we learned about storms.I didnt know much about storms other than that they were clouds and rain that usually had thunder and lightning but i found out that they were much more than that.There are many more components to storms than that. We learned about how the dew point and humidity are related. They are related because Relative humidity is defined as the amount of water vapor in a sample of air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at any specific temperature in a form of 0 to 100%.(1) and 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.(2) This is related to El Nina because El Nina brings cold air winds in from the ocean and dew point and humidity is water vapors and cool air temperatures.
