Bad Training

  • Bad Meteorology - Be very, very careful what you put into that head, because you will never, ever get it out. © Alistair B. Fraser, a professor in the Department of Meteorology at Penn State.
    • The reason clouds form when air cools is that cold air cannot hold as much water vapor as warm air.
    • Raindrops are shaped like teardrops.
    • The greenhouse effect is caused when gasses in the atmosphere behave as a blanket and trap radiation which is then reradiated to the earth.
    • The water in a sink (or toilet) rotates one way as it drains in the northern hemisphere and the other way in the southern hemisphere. Called the Coriolis Effect, it is caused by the rotation of the earth.
