Weather & Climate Test Review (Earth & Space Science Unit 6)

A hurricane forms over a warm body of water.

Precipitation (rain, snow, etc.) is usually associated with a low pressure system.

Higher elevation = Colder temperatures.

Weather occurs in the troposphere.

A cold front brings heavy thunderstorms, rain, and hail.

A warm front is the leading edge of a warm air mass that replaces a cold air mass.

A cold front is the leading edge of a cold air mass that replaces a warm air mass.

An occluded front occurs when a cold front overtakes a warm front.

A stationary front is a boundary between two air masses that are not moving.

The troposphere is where most weather events occur, including clouds, rain, and storms.
