famous
for
his
photomicrographs
of
snow
crystals,
prepared
sets
of
glass
lantern
slides
of
dew,
frost
and
ice
crystals.
Many
of
these
sets
found
their
way
to
colleges
and
universities
around
the
United
States.
The
University
of
Wisconsin's
Department

their

This
applet
provides
a
simulation
of
the
type
of
precipitation
that
results
from
adjusting
the
temperature
(dry
bulb
and
wet
bulb)
at
different
altitudes.
An
updraft
in
the
cloud
can
be
produced
in
order
to
see
its
influence
on
precipitation.
The
precipitation
types
that
are
simulated
include

This
interactive
lesson
on
metamorphic
rocks
starts
with
a
review
of
the
rock
cycle
and
goes
on
to
describe
the
relationship
between
metamorphic
rocks
and
their
parent
rock.
The
lesson
then
describes
the
agents
of
metamorphism
(temperature,
pressure,
and
chemical
change)
and
moves
into
a
discussion
on
contact,
regional,
and
dynamic
metamorphism.
The
remainder
of
the
lesson
consists
