Weather Fronts
This type of front is when a warm air mass slowly goes over a cold air mass.
Warm Front
A low pressure system brings what type of weather?
What is stormy weather.
Degree of hotness or coldness, measured by a thermometer
Temperature
After precipitation, water soaks into the ground and goes into lakes, rivers, and streams. This is what step of the water cycle?
Collection/Runoff
Draw on your white board the symbol for a high pressure system
H
This type of front is when a cold air mass pushes a warm air mass upward.
What is a cold front
High pressure systems bring what type of weather.
Good Weather
When water falls from clouds
Precipitation
When water gets heated up and turns into a vapor/gas this is what step of the water cycle?
Evaporation.
Draw on your white board the symbol for a warm front
line with half suns
Severe, stormy weather comes with this type of front
What is a cold front.
Warm fronts are usually paired with what type of pressure system?
High
Weight of air in the atmosphere
Air pressure
When water vapor collects together to form clouds this is what step of the water cycle?
Condensation
On your white board, draw the symbol for cold front
line with triangles
When a cold front and a warm front meet, but neither one of the takes over the other.
What is a stationary front
Cold fronts are usually paired with what type of pressure system?
Low
Amount of water vapor in the air
Humidity
Rain, snow sleet, hail are all examples of what step of the water cycle?
Precipitation
Draw the symbol for stationary front on your white board
alternating suns and triangles on opposite sides
When a cold front takes over a warm front and another cold front.
What is an occluded front
If it has been storming all day long, what type of pressure system is it?
Low
28.94 inches in an example of what weather feature?
Air pressure
Name the 4 steps of the water cycle.
Precipitation, condensation, evaporation, collection/runoff
Draw the symbol for occluded front on your white board
alternating triangles and half suns
