Why do we have weather?

• the earth is heated unevenly by the sun

• the earth is dry in some places- really, really dry.

• the earth's surface is mostly covered by water.

• the earth has an awesome magnetic field that keeps us alive!

• by using the power of positive thinking! Yeah, I believe!

• a line with half-circles on the front

• a line with spikey triangles on the front

• a line with triangles on one side and half-circles on the other

• a line perpendicular to another line- yeah that sounds right!

On a map, the symbol for a cold front is...

• a line with half-circles on the front

• a line with spikey triangles on the front

• a line with triangles on one side and half-circles on the other

• a line with another line directly on top of it! Pick me!

On a weather map, the symbol for a stationary front is...

• a line with half circles on the front

• a line with spikey triangles on the front

• a line with triangles on one side and half-circles on the other

• I really want to see that new Godzilla movie!

A warm front leads with-

• storms and follows with colder temperatures and dry weather

• rain and follows with warm humid weather
