100
This is a boundary between two air masses
What is a front?
100
These air masses originate over water
What are maritime air masses?
100
This is caused by the weight of the air above an area
What is air pressure?
100
This measures temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius
What is a thermometer?
100
The rotation of Earth on its axis causes this phenomenon
What is the Coriolis Effect
200
A warm air mass glides over the cooler air mass producing light drizzle or snow.
What are warm fronts?
200
This air mass is warm and humid.
What is maritime tropical?
200
This type of pressure causes clouds and rain or storms.
What is Low Pressure?
200
This helps determine direction when reading weather maps.
What is a Compass Rose?
200
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes the ocean to turn in this direction?
What is Clockwise?
300
Cold air rushes under the warm air forcing it to rise.
What are cold fronts?
300
This air mass is formed over Canada.
What is Continental Polar?
300
This makes sunny clear skies with calm winds that spiral clockwise
What are high pressure systems?
300
Air pressure is measured with this
What is the barometer?
300
The Movement of the ocean surface is facilitated by this
What is the wind?
400
Severe Weather may result from this front
What are occludedfronts?
400
This is a large body of air with relatively similar temperature and humidity
What are air masses?
400
This is how Low Pressure air moves.
What is Counter-clockwise?
400
This measures wind speed in mph
What is the anemometer?
400
Convection changes a property of water that allows it to rise when heated
What is denisty?
500
These cause light rain over several days and fog. Warm and cold air masses face each other but do not move.
What are stationary fronts?
500
These air mass is warm and dry.
What is Continental Tropical?
500
High pressure is formed from cold air that does this
What is sinking 
500
This carries instruments to high altitudes
What is a weather balloon?
500
Convection occurs on three major places on Earth
What are the atmosphere, the ocean, and the mantle
