Air becomes moist and it forms over water. What kind of air mass is this?
Maritime Air mass
I produce brief, heavy story storms. Which front am I?
Cold Front
I bring clear skies and change slowly.

Which air mass forms over the equator, the air becomes warm and gains energy from warm land.
Tropical
I am a front that occurs when two air masses are pushing against each other. I usually create cloudy, rainy weather. What front am I?
Stationary Front
I move around and then inwards to the point that I rise to higher altitudes.

Which air mass forms far from the equator, it becomes colder and loses energy to cold land?
Polar Air Mass
I appear as blue triangles on the weather channel when they are showing a graphic. Which front am I?
Cold Front
I produce stormy weather.
Low pressure systems
large volume of air in which temperature and humidity are the same in different locations and altitudes
I appear as red semi circles and blue triangles along a line on the weather channel when there is a graphic about weather. Who am I?
Stationary Fronts
I move counterclockwise.
