4、he temperature, the more the molecules of water vapor in the cloud cling together. then they form droplets of water. usually droplets form around dust or other particles in the air when the dew point is reached. if ice crystals are in the cloud, even more droplets may form. in clouds, condensation m

5、ay be so rapid that millions of droplets of water are formed. as these droplets collect more molecules and therefore become heavier, their weight makes them fall to the earth. if the temperature of the air is above freezing the drops will fall as rain. when the air high above the earth is well below

6、 freezing, the moisture in the air does not form raindrops. instead, it forms snow. snowflakes take on many interesting shapes. they seem to be formed around a center. snow is made up of millions of these flakes, each a bit of water vapor that in freezing temperatures was changed into a flake of sno

7、w. snowflakes are really crystals; they are water molecules grouped in a hexagonal pattern. it is interesting to study snowflake crystals under a hand lens. sometimes droplets of water start out as rain and change into another form on their way to the earth. the raindrops may start downward through

8、a layer of warm air and then strike a mass of cold air, where each raindrop freezes. these frozen raindrops fall to the earth as sleet; skeet us frozen rain. sometimes still another change may take place in drops of rain. during a thunderstorm, swift upward currents of air usually carry raindrops wi

9、th them. as the air grows colder, these raindrops may form little balls of ice. in a mass of warm air, they may get a coating of moisture, which freezes as soon as they are tossed up again into a colder mass of air. up and down they are carried, acquiring more and more layers of ice. this goes on un

10、til the balls of ice become heavy enough to fall to the earth as hailstones. if you cut a hailstone in two, you can see the layers of ice. some scientists think that hailstones are formed in a different way. a hailstone nucleus, a tiny droplet of water that is frozen, may form high in the atmosphere

11、. as it falls through a cloud, it meets cold water droplets and snowflakes which stick to this nucleus. the hailstone may meet many of these droplets and snowflakes before it falls from the cloud to the earth. as the droplets of water stick to the hailstone, they add a clear layer of ice. as snowfla

12、kes stick to it, they form a cloudy layer. this theory explains why clear and cloudy layers are found inside the hailstone when it is cut open. exercises i.complete the following sentences with nouns formed from the verbs given in brackets. 1.theof rain depends on the and the of tiny droplets of wat

21、be right for this vapor to condense and fall as rain or snow. rain, snow, hail, dew, and are known as precipitation. even where rainfall is usually moderate, there is at times a lack of rain. a drought may lead to serious water shortages, as it did in new york city in 1949 and 1950 and again in 1963

22、 to 1966. in the summer of 1949, new york city s reservoirs were down to o ne third of what they normally held. several billion gallons of water were being used each day. so serious was the water shortage that people were asked to have one bathless, shaveless, and washless day a week. cars went unwa

28、es are easily seen with the naked eye, though the details are better revealed with a low-power magnifying glass (magnification of 5 to 10) the hand lens that field geologists usually have hanging around their necks. from the characteristics show, particularly the physical and chemical properties we

29、can distinguish several thousand minerals, each defined by its unique set of properties. thus all grains or crystals of quartz have just about the same qualities, regardless of the kind of rock in which they are found. some minerals, particularly those that have a more complex mixture of atoms, vary

30、 slightly in their properties, depending on their precise composition. a mineral like garnet, for example, has a number of varieties, each with its own range of composition, such as the proportions of iron and other elements, and hence, properties. rocks are not as uniquely defined by their properti

31、es as minerals are. because of the immense number of ways in which the thousands of minerals can be combined, the geologist is faced with a bewildering array of rock types. the only way for us to make order out of this array is to classify like with like and to sort out by general type. the major di

32、vision of rocks into igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic is just such an aid. within each major division there are many groups and types. using characteristic properties, we can divide the rock kingdom into several hundred general types, each with its own more or less distinctive earmarks. despite

33、 all of these numbers, it is remarkable how much can be done even if only a small number of the most common minerals and rocks are known. in most parts of the world a field geologist can make an accurate geologic map by knowing only a few dozen major minerals and even fewer common rock types. this s

34、implification is possible because most of the thousands of known minerals are either rare or unusual on the one hand or subspecies or varieties on the other. thus the geologist who can recognize garnet will do well, even though a mineral sophisticate who can distinguish the many varieties of garnet

35、by their slightly different chemical compositions might do better. naturally, the more we can distinguish, the more the information gleaned, and the greater the power of our theories of explanation. than is why professional petrologists have to know a great deal about mineralogy. exercises i.match t

49、h scientists have studied the behavior and composition of molten rock materials and the forms that are produced . this branch of earth science is called volcanology. some igneous rocks are formed by crystallization of fluid matter that has escaped through deep cracks in the earth s crust. volcanolog

50、ists refer to these rocks as extrusive rocks, or extrusives. if a tube of toothpaste has a crack in it and you press on the tube, some of the paste is pushed out. that is, the paste has been extruded. volcanic eruptions occur in much the same way. the magma within the earth may be heavily charged wi

51、th gases and steam. these are under such great pressure that they are dissolved in the magma. if a fissure develops in a region where the magma is heavily charged with steam and other dissolved gases, the fluid magma rises through the fissure. as it rises, the pressure on it becomes less and less. t

52、he gases and steam expand, producing a force that helps to move the molten materials to the surface of the earth. when they reach the surface of the earth, the only pressure against them is atmospheric pressure 14.7 pounds per square inch. the steam and gases now expand suddenly and explosively , pr

53、oducing additional great force. the molten materials, laden with rapidly expanding gas and steam, may be thrown high into the air in a wild and noisy eruption. in this kind of an eruption, the molten materials are quickly chilled by the much cooler atmosphere. they fall back to the earth as solid fr

54、agments of extrusive igneous rocks. during an explosive eruption the molten fluids may be so heavily charged with gas and steam that they froth. bursting of the bubbles in the molten froth produces billions of tiny fragments of mineral matter, which were once part of the bubble walls. these tiny fra

55、gments may be carried upward into the atmosphere by the explosive force of the eruption. these they form great clouds of volcanic dust. slightly larger fragments of the froth may fall back around the vent, or opening, in the crust to make a cone-shaped pile of volcanic ash. the light produced during

56、 volcanic activity is the result of the glowing of gases and molten fluids. the “ smoke” of a volcano is not smoke at all, but the column of volcanic dust, steam, and other gases that are given off from the molten fluid. exercises i. explain the meaning of these words in english. 1.volcanologist 2.
