100
Air mass that is warm and humid.
What is maritime tropical
100
Is the result of a cold air mass sliding under a warm air mass.
What is cold front
100
Center of a hurricane.
What is the eye
100
Lines joining areas with the same air pressure.
What is isobars
100
The type of pressure related to a cold front.
What is low pressure
200
Air mass that is cool and dry.
What is continental polar
200
Type of front in which warm air rises and then slides past a cold air mass.
What is warm front
200
Type of storm that results from a very low pressure area forcing warm moist air upward.
What is hurricane
200
Lines joining areas with the same temperature.
What is isotherms
200
Storm that produces the highest winds.
What is a tornado
300
Air mass that is warm and dry.
What is continental tropical
300
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet and do not move.
What is stationary front
300
The type of clouds in which tornadoes form.
What is cumulonimbus
300
On a weather station, this is represented inside the circle.
What is cloud cover
300
This is what causes a tilt or change in a cloud for the beginning of a tornado.
What is wind shear (strong winds chagne direction)
400
Air mass that is humid and cool.
What is maritime polar
400
Type of front in which two air masses cut off a warmer air mass.
What is occluded front
400
Sudden discharge of energy in a storm.
What is lightning
400
On a map, this is drawn over a large region and travel west to east with 1/2 circles and triangles.
What is a front?
400
Type of pressure in which rain is more likely to develop.
What is low pressure
500
Four types of air masses that affect the U.S.
What is maritime tropical, maritime polar, continental tropical, continental polar
500
Fronts are the result of this.
What is two air masses colliding
500
The reason lightning occurs.
What is to equalize charge
500
On a weather station, this measurement always goes to the top right corner of the circle.
What is air pressure
500
Area where dewpoint is the highest.
