air mass fronts
whats a air mass
big body of air
what is climate
long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns
what is a current
the continuous, predictable, directional movement of seawater
whats a deep currents
its a body of water that is getting pushed under water that moves around
is tropical air mass warm or cold
warm
what is a weather map
what makes currents move
the wind pushes them
what makes it move
the rotation of earth and winds
whats a front
2 large masses of air hit each other
what is weather
the current weather out or whats coming in the future
whats a surface currents
driven by global wind systems that are fueled by energy from the Sun
whats a deep currents
driven by differences in the water's density, which is controlled by temperature
what are air mass classified as
tropical,polar,artic
How hard is it to predict the weather
its a week of watching weather and predicting weather
what does it cause
transfer heat from the tropics to the polar regions, influencing local and global climate
what causes it
the movement of tides create a deep currants with bounce off walls or mountains,rocks
air mass front
a boundary between two air masses
How does the wind start
The sun's energy heats the planet's surface that gets cooler and makes air
whats the difference from ocean surface currents and deep currents
the surface on is closer to the top of the water the deep one is much further down in the ocean
whats the difference between surface currents and deep water currents
surface circulation, which stirs a relatively thin upper layer of the sea, and deep circulation, which sweeps along the deep-sea floor.
