What is a STATIONARY front?
An air mass with greater atmospheric pressure then the surrounding air mass; air moves away from the center of the high pressure; traveling in a clockwise in the northern hemisphere and a counterclockwise direction in the southern hemisphere
The boundary where a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass
When an advancing warm air mass or an advancing cooler air mass stops moving because neither air mass is strong enough to overpower the other
Thin clouds found high in the sky; bring no precipitation
A COLD front is where a (a) air mass replaces a warm air mass.
A weather map is:
Lower-level clouds that cover the sky like a blanket; bring little to no precipitation
A drawing or a picture that shows the current condition of the air outdoors, such as temperature, wind speed, cloud cover, and rainfall
An air mass with greater atmospheric pressure then the surrounding air mass; air moves away from the center of the high pressure; traveling in a clockwise in the northern hemisphere and a counterclockwise direction in the southern hemisphere
High-Pressure air masses are:
Lower-level clouds that cover the sky like a blanket; they can bring rain or snow
A drawing or a picture that shows the current condition of the air outdoors, such as temperature, cloud cover, wind speed, and rainfall
An air mass with greater atmospheric pressure then the surrounding air mass; air moves away from the center of the high pressure; traveling in a clockwise in the northern hemisphere and a counterclockwise direction in the southern hemisphere
A COLD front is where a cold air mass replaces a (a) air mass.
A HIGH-PRESSURE air mass is An air mass with greater atmospheric pressure then the surrounding air mass; air moves away from the center of the high pressure; traveling in a clockwise in the northern hemisphere and a counterclockwise direction in the (a) hemisphere
Cumulus clouds are:
Large, white, puffy clouds that look like they are stacked up on top of each other; bring little to no precipitation
The boundary where a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass
Thin clouds found in the sky; bring no precipitation
Stratus clouds are:
Thin clouds found high in the sky; bring no precipitation
Large white puffy clouds that look like they are stacked on top of each other; usually little to no precipitation
Lower-level clouds that cover the sky like a blanket; usually mean rain or snow
A WARM front is:
The boundary where a cold air mass overtakes a warm air mass
Forms at the surface of the Earth when a warm, moist air mass overtakes a cool, dense, and dryer air mass
A warm front forms at the surface of the Earth when a (a) , moist air mass overtakes a cool, dense, and dryer air mass.
Stratus clouds are _____-______ clouds that cover the sky like a blanket; usually mean rain or snow.
(a)
A weather map is a drawing or a picture that shows the current condition of the air outdoors, such as (a) , wind speed, cloud cover, and rainfall
What are CIRRUS clouds?
Large, white puffy clouds that look like they are stacked on each other; bring little to no precipitation
Lower-level clouds that cover the sky like a blanket; usually mean rain or snow
Thin clouds found high in the sky; bring no precipitation
Cumulus clouds are large, ______ ______ clouds that look like they are stacked on each other; bring little to no precipitation
(a)
A stationary front is when an advancing warm air mass or an advancing cooler air mass (a) because neither air mass is strong enough to overpower the other
Cirrus clouds are (a) clouds found in the sky; bring no precipitation.
