The conditions of the atmosphere at a given location for a short period of time.
What is weather?
100
This causes most local weather condition changes.
What is movement of air masses?
100
Low pressure systems usually bring this.
What are clouds and unstable conditions?
100
The two most prevalent gasses in our air.
What are oxygen and nitrogen?
200
The three classes of rocks.
What are sedimentary,metamorphic,and igneous.
200
The charecteristics weather that prevails from season to season and year to year.
What is climate?
200
The movement of air masses is determined by two things.
What are prevailing winds and upper air currents?
200
As the density of air decreases its pressure.
What is decreases?
300
Most rocks show charecteristics thar give clues to this.

300
The cause of weather.
What is the uneven heating of Earths surface?
300
Boundaries between air masses.
What are fronts?

400
This model shows how types of rock material may be transformed from one rock type to another.
What is rock cycle?
400
These form when air remains nearly stationery remains over a large section of Earths surface and takes on the conditions of temperature and humidity from that location.
What is air masses?
400
This is likely to occur at fronts.
What is precipitation?

Instruments used to measure air pressure
What are barometers?
500
This rock can float.
What is pumice?

Weather conditions at a location are determined primarily by 3 things.
What are temperature,humidity,and air pressure of air masses over that location?
