If a place is near a large body of water, the body of water (example an ocean) will often moderate the climate to have warm instead of hot summers and cool instead of cold winters. This local climate is called a ___________ climate

If a place is near a mountain or mountain chain, mountain(s) will often affect the climate of the area. At higher elevation it is cooler than places at lower elevations; often with heavy precipitation if located near coastlines (a very large body of water). This local climate is called a ___________ climate

These can be cold and flow from the polar oceans towards the equator. A few are warm and flow away from the equator along the coastline of the continents. These either warm or cool the climate of land areas nearby.

Winds and air masses are large volumes of air with similar conditions of temperature and moisture moving throughout the Earth’s atmosphere. The jet stream is the key air current that affects the weather across North America.

In this picture the jet stream dipped way down into the southern USA. On this day much of the US was effected and got much ___________

Winds and air masses are large volumes of air with similar conditions of temperature and moisture moving throughout the Earth’s atmosphere. The jet stream is the key air current that affects the weather across North America.

In this picture the jet stream moved and arches up in western Canada but dips low in Eastern Canada. This means that on this day:

Winds and air masses are large volumes of air with similar conditions of temperature and moisture moving throughout the Earth’s atmosphere. The jet stream is the key air current that affects the weather across North America.

In this picture the jet stream moved up out of the USA and arches up into Canada. This means that on this day:
