Air masses and fronts
What is an air mass
An air mass is a body of air with the same temperature all in it
What is a weather map
Quite literally a map of the weather
current at the surface of a body of water
What is a deep ocean current
An ocean current deep in bodies of water
What is an air front
A front is when two air masses collide to cause weather changes
How do weather maps help us understand how weather works
It shows us what the weather type is
Where are they mostly located in
Are they in the same areas has surface ocean currents
The location
What does the U.S.A use to measure tempature
Farenheit
Yes/No are surface currents streams of water
Yes
Yes/No. They are streams of water
Yes
How is a front created
Typically the warm and cold air masses will replace each other and it makes a front.
What does most countries use to measure the tempature
Celsius
Are they more dense than deep ocean currents
nope
What makes deep ocean currents more dense than surface ocean currents
Salt
Name the 4 fronts
Tropical warm, Tropical cold, Polar warm, and Polar cold.
Where can you find a weather map
Poster, packet, paper, a lot of places!
What causes a surface ocean current
Wind and Coriolis affect
What is different about deep ocean currents compared to surface ocean currents
Deep ocean currents are colder and more dense due to salt
