100

This is a boundary between two air masses

What is a front?

100

Change the station model pressure of 521 to its correct form.

952.1mb

100

a large body of air measured by temperature and humidity

what is an air mass?

100

This is caused by the weight of the air above an area

What is air pressure?

200

A warm air mass glides over the cooler air mass producing light drizzle or snow.

What are warm fronts?

200

Abbreviate 1041.8mb so it can be used on a station model.

418

200

This type of pressure causes clouds and rain or storms.

What is Low Pressure?

200

Air pressure goes up when

density increases

300

Cold air rushes under the warm air forcing it to rise.

What are cold fronts?

300

What would you write in the bottom left of a station model? Temp: 85 F, Dewpoint: 90F, or Present Weather: fog

90F

300

the things maritime polar air masses are associated with

what is cool, moist, and unstable air?

300

True or False: Air pressure decreases as the temperature of air increases.

TRUE

400

Strong storms form

What are cold fronts?

400

Change the station model pressure of 007 to its correct form.

1000.7mb

400

This is how Low Pressure air moves.

Moves upward in the atmosphere

400

True or False: Stormy, wet weather is associated with conditions of high air pressure. 

False

500

the way an occluded front is formed

what is an air mass getting caught between two cold air masses?

500

What goes on a station model directly below the air pressure number?

The pressure tendency/pressure trend

500

High pressure is formed from cold air that does this
