warm water evaporating from oceans

cool water condensing to form rain

warm water condensing to form clouds

cool water moving through deep currents

What weather conditions will an area most likely experience if this symbol is shown over it on a weather map?

Due to high pressure air that doesn't rise, it will have clear skies.

Due to high pressure air rising, it will most likely have a warm front.

Due to low pressure air rising, it will experience tornadoes.

Due to low pressure air rising, it will experience hot weather.

What is the "eye" of a hurricane?

The calm center of a hurricane with little to no winds

The most violent part of a hurricane that brings massive flooding

The wall of high winds around the center of a hurricane

Possible fast-moving thunderstorms ahead of a cold front, followed by cooler temperatures and clear skies.

Slow-moving light rain ahead of a warm front, followed by clearer, warmer weather.

Heavy snowfall ahead of the occluded front followed by a hurricane.

Days of heavy rain and possible flooding due to the stationary front.

What is a key similarity among thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes?

Low pressure created from warm, humid air rising is needed for their formation.

Each weather event can last up to a week over an area.

All three weather events have the highest wind speeds ever recorded.

High pressure created from cool, dry air sinking are used to create all three.
