Activity 2 - 1/19/11

Describe some common weather occurances in relation to the gas laws and characteristics we have been exploring.

What is the Bernouli Principle, provide an example or application of this.

Humid air is less dense than dry air because the molecules spread farther away. 

Bernouli Principle is the velocity of a fluid or gas increases, the pressure exerted by that fluid/gas decreases.
High speed flow is associated with low pressure, and low speed flow is associated with high pressure.
