100
the average weather pattern of a region
What is climate
200
the force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it
What is air pressure
200

the water that is in the air

water vapor

200
any form of water particles that falls from the atmosphere and reaches the ground
What is precipitation
200
a wind that blows from the sea toward the land
What is sea breeze
200
a boundry between air masses with different temperatures
What is a front
300
this instrument measures air pressure
What is barometer
300

the amount of water vapor in the air

humidity

300

when we see flat, gray clouds that are low in the sky, we can get this kind of weather

precipitation

300

This is the type of pressure we have when the temperatures are cooler and the skies are clear and sunny.

What is high pressure

300
when cold air moves in under a warm air mass
What is a cold front
400
the air that surrounds the earth
What is atmosphere
400

when water changes from a liquid to a gas

evaporation

400

This is the temperature .we need for snow to fall and stick.

What is 32 degrees

400
a wind that blows from land toward the water
What is land breeze
400
a large region of the atmosphere where the air has similar properties throughout
What is air mass
500

On Tuesday, it was sunny and a high of 55 degrees. On Wednesday, a warm front rolled in. What happened to the air pressure?

It decreased

500

It's what we say something is when it cannot absorb any more liquid

saturated

500

the type of weather we see when clouds form at a very high altitude out of ice crystals and have a wispy, featherlike shape

fair, sunny, high pressure weather

500

This is the type of air pressure in higher elevations.
