About It
About It
The temperature you feel when you consider wind
Wind Chill
heat and light energy from the sun
The weight of air pressing down on a location
Barometric pressure
I have more density that the other
Cold air mass
In the US Weather moves from - to what directions
From West to East
The temperature you feel when you consider humidity
Heat Index
This is the driving force behind Earth's weather
The Sun
The bending of moving air due to Earth's rotation
Coriolis effect
I have less density than the other
What is warm air mass
This air can blow south and east
Polar Air
This index measures the intensity of sun rays
UV Index
The sun initiates the water cycle by
Causes evaporation
Why pressure decreases at higher elevations
Less air is pressing down on you
My boundary is often called a what
Front
I flow and meander, what am I and what direction do I move
Jet stream, west to east
Water condenses when air temperature reaches this:
Dew Point
The equator is warmer than the poles because
it receives direct solar radiation
Winds spiral counterclockwise and inward in this type of system
Low-pressure system
I'm a large body of air that shares the same what (2 things)
Temperature and Humidity
Why do weather changes occur more quickly along a cold front?
Cold fronts move faster and cause rapid lifting of warm air
Temperature, Visibility, Dew Point, Barometric Pressure, Barometric Pressure change, Precipitation
What supports the idea that the sun affects temperature on Earth
Air moves between the hot and cold regions
Winds spiral outward and clockwise in this type of system
I am an air mass associated with cold and dry air
I am a fast-moving channel of air.
What do I move between, and which one am if I flow in the United States
Hot and Cold air masses, Polar Jet Stream
