Match the following about winds

Steady winds blowing towards the equator from the subtropical high-pressure belts.

High-speed air current in the upper atmosphere that influences weather patterns.

Prevailing winds blowing from west to east in the mid-latitudes.

the apparent deflection of moving objects (such as air or water) on the Earth's surface caused by the planet's rotation. In the Northern Hemisphere, objects are deflected to the right, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they are deflected to the left.

Match the following vocabulary terms regarding storms

Change in wind speed or direction with height, influencing storm organization and strength.

a rotating updraft within a thunderstorm that can lead to severe weather like large hail, strong winds, and tornadoes. It forms when strong wind shear tilts and stretches the storm's updraft, causing horizontal rotation that is then tilted vertically by the updraft's lifting action

is a particularly intense and organized type of thunderstorm. It has a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone, which can lead to severe weather such as large hail, strong winds, and tornadoes. They are known for their long-lasting and powerful nature.

a downward movement of air within a thunderstorm or convective system. It happens when cooled or descending air becomes denser and sinks toward the ground, often accompanied by precipitation and cooler temperatures.

a strong upward movement of air within a thunderstorm or other convective weather system. It occurs when warm, moist air rises rapidly due to buoyancy, creating vertical motion in the atmosphere.

Match the following about weather fronts

Front where two air masses meet but neither advances, causing prolonged periods of cloudy and rainy weather.

Boundary where cold air displaces warm air, often leading to stormy weather.

Boundary separating moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and dry air from the southwestern United States.

Boundary where warm air displaces cold air, bringing gradual changes in weather.

Types of thunderstorms

when a short-lived thunderstorm occurs within an air mass due to a low pressure system caused by solar radiation

when mountains or hillsides force air upwards to create thunderstorms

a thunderstorm caused by two or more air masses colliding, or one taking over another

Thunderstorms vocabulary

pushes down the cooler air that spreads when it reaches the surface

when the updraft tilts the horizontal convection current to make it vertical

draws in warm moist air to feed the storm

the most dangerous part of the supercell thunderstorm

What is the Coriolis Effect?

the way Earth's rotation makes winds curve

a belt of calm air and sea occurring in both the northern and southern hemispheres between the trade winds and the westerlies

a current of warm water from the tropics

cold winds that come in from the poles and blow East to West
