Inversion of temperature refers to Increase in temperature with height. In meteorology, an inversion, also known as a temperature inversion, is a deviation from the normal change of an atmospheric property with altitude. It almost always refers to an inversion of the thermal lapse rate. Normally, air temperature decreases with an increase in altitude.

When dew point is reached it is said that at that temperature the atmosphere is said to be saturated with water vapour, the relative humidity of the atmosphere is 100% and the atmosphere can hold no more water vapour.

"Cloud burst" is an abnormal heavy downpour of rain. Cloudbursts occur because the warm air current from the ground or below the clouds rushes up and carries the falling raindrops up with it. The rain fails to fall down in a steady shower. This results in excessive condensation in the clouds as new drops form and old drops are pushed back into it by the updraft.

Loess is a type of silt which forms fertile topsoil in some parts of the world. Loess deposits are usually a few meters thick. The soil has few clay particles to hold it together.

Humidity in the air is measured in a Hygrometer. Humidity is the measure of the amount of moisture in the air. A psychrometer is an example of a hygrometer.

There are two types of crusts - the continental and the oceanic. The continental crust is thicker below the mountains than below the plains. Both continental and oceanic crusts are less dense than the mantle, so both float in the mantle. Continental crust floats higher in the mantle than oceanic crust because continental crust is both less dense and thicker than oceanic crust.

Pilgrim Fathers are the earliest migrants to North America. Pilgrim Fathers, in American colonial history, settlers of Plymouth, Mass., the first permanent colony in New England (1620).
