Air Fronts
What is formed when a cold air mass swiftly advances under a warm air mass?
Cold Front
Which cloud is long and wispy?
Cirrus Clouds
Which air mass property has good weather?
High Pressure
Which type of heat transfer is the ground warming the molecules of air closest to the ground?
Conduction
Which device measures air pressure?
Barometer
What is formed when a warm air mass slowly advances over a cold air mass?
Warm Front
Which cloud is flat and low-level?
Stratus Clouds
Which air mass is cold?
Cold Air Mass
Which type of heat transfer is the sun warming the earth?
Radiation
Which device measures wind speed?
Anemometer
Why does a cold front cause thunderstorms?
The cold front causes the warm air mass to rise and cool, which in turn causes the warm air mass to condense and create cumulonimbus clouds.
Which cloud is fluffy and white?
Cumulus Clouds
Which air mass rises?
Warm Air Mass
Which type of heat transfer is in a boiling hot water pot?
Convection
Which device measures wind direction?
Wind vane
What type of air front is formed when two fronts don't have enough force to go over one another?
Stationary Front
Which cloud is dark, huge, and tall?
Cumulonimbus Clouds
Which air mass property shows bad weather?
Low Pressure
Which type of heat transfer is the warm air rising, cooling, and returning back down to be warmed again?
Convection
Which device measures the amount of rain fallen?
Rain gauge
What kind of front is formed when a warm front is caught by a cold front?
Occluded Front
Which clouds are formed when a cold air mass goes under a warm air mass?
Cumulonimbus Clouds
Which air mass is trapped in an occluded front?
Warm Air Mass
How does heat transfer on Earth?
Conduction, Convection, Radiation
Which device measures humidity? Which device measures relative humidity?
