Front

Jet Stream

Back

A Jet stream is a narrow band with strong winds that generally go from west to east. They form when warm air masses meet cold air masses

2. Identify location of formation, temperature and humidity of each air mass: Continental Arctic

Back

Forms over land, temperature is freezing, with low humidity

Why does warm air rise

Back

Because warm air is lighter than cool air.
