Air masses and fronts
A large body of air that have equal temperature and humidity throughout?
What is an air mass
cold fronts are represented like this on a weather map
the redirection of currents through collision with continents
What is continental deflection
this is the only factor that effects deep ocean currents
Water density
continental and maritime define what factor in an air mass?
humidity
a red line with semicircles on a weather map
what is a warm front
warm surface currents can do what to the climate
Cause warmer temperatures.
The density of water is effected by these two factors
what is salt content, and temperature
What is a cold front
This weather feature is depicted as an H
what is high air pressure areas
This changes the direction of a current through the rotation of the earth
what is the coriolis effect?
This makes deep currents diffrent from surface currents
deep currents can't be effected by: wind
This air is formed in the northeast and northwest of america over seas
what is Maritime Polar
Cold, cloudy, and sad weather
The surface current that rides the eastern coast of australia
what is the eastern australian current
This form of heat transfer creates deep currents
convection
When two air cold masses push a warm air mass up by surrounding it?
What is an occluded front?
This is when both red semicircles and blue spikes in one curved line
what is a stationary front
this process takes nutrients from deep currents and recirculates them into surface currents
what is upwelling
The surface currents temperature indirectly effects what
The salt content/density of water
