On a weather map, pressure is adjusted to this level
What is Sea Level
100
Circulation around a high pressure system
What is clockwise
100
Air rises or sinks in a low pressure system
What is rise
100
Upper air maps are shown as constant
What is pressure

In Romanian, it's "Salut" (Su-lute), in English it's: "Salute", "Hello", "Cheers"
What is Hello
200
Lines of equal pressure
What are isobars
200
It's the force that determines the strength of the wind.
What is pressure-gradient force
200
Air flows around a low pressure in this direction
What is counter clockwise
200
Height lines on constant pressure surfaces are determined by the: temperature, wind, moisture....of the column of air
What is the temperature

Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Easter. People spend more on this holiday
What is Mother's day
300
Front, trough, or ridge, it's a "kink" in the isobars that extend from a low pressure system.
What is a trough
300
This force not only slows the wind, but turns the winds to cross the isobars
What is friction
300
Fronts are located along troughs, ridges, mountains, oceans.
What are troughs
300
As the column of air gets colder, the heights begin to: rise, fall, stay the same
What is fall
300
Aspartame, Sorbitol, Gum base. It's the main ingredient of Trident White gum
What is sorbitol
400
This represents a trough on a weather map
What is a dashed line
400
Coriolis force turns the wind: up, to the left, to the right, or down (in the northern hemisphere).
What is to the right
400
Temperature drop, wind shift, precipitation, dew point drop. It's the most distinct mark of a passage of a trough.
What is a wind shift
400
Dips in the height lines from a center of an upper air low are called:
What is trough
400
BMI, as it relates to health
What is Body Mass Index
500
Showers, mostly cloudy, mostly sunny. It's the type of weather most likely associated with a ridge
What is mostly sunny
500
Circulations that bring air from higher levels to the surface.
What are eddies
500
Frontal systems typically form between two: high pressure systems, low pressure systems, troughs or ridges
What are high pressure systems
500
Wind direction is determined by this method in the upper atmosphere.
What is following the height lines.
