Collecting Weather Data and Clouds
Fronts
Tropical Cyclones, Tornadoes, and The Coriolis Effect
Air Pollution and Climate change
Air Masses
100

This value can be measured in Fahrenheit, Celcius, or Kelvin.

What is temperature?

100

This is when two air masses meet.

What is a front?

100
You should get in your car in the event of a tornado. (true or false)
False.
100

The three things that make climates different from one another

What are TPV? (Temperature, precipitation, vegetation)

100

This kind of air mass may form over Canada.

What is a continental polar air mass? (continental arctic also accepted)

200
Wind moves in this direction.

What is high to low pressure?

200

This is what occurs when a cold airmass displaces a warm airmass. It is often quite violent.

What is a cold front?

200
This causes the spinning of tropical cyclones.
What is the Coriolis effect?
200

This is the greatest greenhouse gas by effect.

What is carbon dioxide?

200

This air mass forms over the sea near the poles.

What is a maritime polar airmass?

300

The small particles that water vapor condense around.

What are condensation nuclei?

300

This is what occurs when two airmasses are stagnant, and can't displace one another. 

What is a stationary front?

300
This causes the Coriolis effect.

What is the spinning of the earth?

300

This is the greatest greenhouse gas by effect per molecule.

What is Methane?

300

This kind of air mass forms over the North Pole in Alaska and Canada.

What is a continental arctic air mass?

400

The unit that a barometer measures in.

What is a pascal?
400

This is the color and name of the most violent airmass.

What are purple and occluded?

400
A tropical cyclone spins in this direction in the southern hemisphere.
What is clockwise?
400

This is formed when non-pollutant molecules react with molecules in the atmosphere to form an acid, which then condenses and precipitates along with water.

What is acid rain?

400

A continental tropical air mass might form here.

What is a desert?

500

The affix for a cloud that is around 6000 meters or higher. 

What is cirro? (cirrus, cirrocumulus, cirrostratus)
500

This is the color, shape, and name for when two air masses meet and don't move at all, because neither one can push each other. 

What is both red and blue (alternating), spiked and bumpy (alternating), and stationary.
500
You are most likely to find a tornado on this front.

What is a cold front?

500

This is the greatest greenhouse gas by amount.

What is water vapor.

500
This air mass is the most likely to form a tropical cyclone.

What is a maritime tropical air mass?
