Air masses and fronts
What are Air masses and fronts?
An air mass is a body of air and moisture content over a significant altitude
What is weather maps?
A map showing the state of the weather over a large area
Why makes a weather map work
a computer draws a station model for each observation location
What causes the ocean curtain surface?
Global wind systems fueled by energy from the sun
What causes a deep ocean current?
Density and temperature gradients.
how do air masses and front work?
A weather front is a transition zone between two different air masses at the Earth’s surface.
What do weather maps do?
A weather map shows weather conditions for a certain area
What is an ocean current surface?
Similar to rivers and water moving in the ocean
What is a Deep Ocean current?
Result from differences in water density
What do air masses and fronts do?
The turbulence can cause clouds and storms.
How does weather maps work?
A computer draws a station model for each observation location
what does ocean currents surface do?
Transfer heat from the topics to the polar regions influencing local and global climate
What does a Deep ocean current do?
Move water masses through the deep ocean
Why do air masses and fronts do what they do?
The dense air undercuts the warmer air masses forcing the warm air up and over the colder air
why does weather maps do what they do
They are used for research and weather forecasting purpose
:How does an ocean current surface work?
Driven by global wind systems that are fueled by energy from the sun
How does a Deep ocean current work?
Surface-winds driven currents generate upwelling currents in conjunction with landforms
what causes air masses and fronts?
Fronts develop when two air masses has different temperatures
Why makes a weather map work
a computer draws a station model for each observation location
Why does the ocean current surface do what they do?
To transfer heat to the topics from the polar regions.
Why do Deep ocean currents do what they do?
Difference in water density
