What is continental tropical, continental polar, maritime tropical, maritime polar.
What type of rocks are formed from compaction and cementation of sediments?
What is sedimentary rock?
What direction do pressure systems typically move?
What is from high to low pressure?
A curved line with red half circles on it is the symbol for a ?
What is warm front
What is the force that pushes on air molecules?
What is air pressure?
This type of air mass is warm and dry.
What is continental tropical.
Metamorphic rocks form under extreme what?
What is heat and pressure.
What is the effect that causes the wind to turn clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere called?
1. What is the coriolis effect.
The weather forecast indicates that the weather will be turning cold very quickly with the chance of a tornado. What type of front would cause this?
What is a cold front.
Differences in air pressure would cause what?
What is wind.
When a continental polar air mass meets a continental tropical air mass and overtakes it, what type of front is created?
What is a cold front?
1. What are the three types of sedimentary rocks?
1. What is organic, clastic, and chemical?
What causes the wind near coastlines to form?
What is differences in temperature.
This type of front brings many days of cloudy, wet weather.
What is a stationary front.
the condition of the atmosphere at a particular place and time
What is weather?
How are air masses characterized?
What is by their temperature and humidity?
A rock gets weathered and eroded. It is deposited in a new location where, over time, more sediments build and cement to the old sediments. The rock is then buried deep into the ground, where it is formed into a new rock under extreme heat and pressure. It then melts back down into magma and erupts as lava, where it cools and hardens. What three types of rocks did this rock turn into?
What is sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.
What causes differences in air pressure at different locations around the world?
Warm air rises at the equator (low pressure). Cold air sinks at the poles (high pressure).
Warm air mass meets and rises above cold air masses during this kind of front
What is warm front.
a large body of air with similar temperature, humidity and air pressure that forms over land or water.
What is an air mass?
What is cT- dry and warm, cP- dry and cold, mT- humid and warm, mP- humid and cold
