What causes evaporation?
Heat
200
A meteorologist predicts a low pressure system is on the way, what will this mean for temperature and why?
What is Warm - warm air has lower pressure

What is a front?
Where two air masses meet
400
Describe a cold front
What is Cold air pushes UNDER warm air, SHORT periods of precipitation
500
Measures Wind Direction AND if it says 'N' where is the wind blowing from and what type of weather can we expect?
What is Wind Vane/ From the North, Can expect cold weather
