Cold Front
This forms where cold air moves UNDER warm air. Air masses are going OPPOSITE directions
Warm Front
This forms where warm air moves OVER cold air. Air masses are going in the SAME direction.
Occluded Front
Forms when a warm air mass is caught between 2 colder air masses.
Air Mass
A large body of air throughout which temperature and moisture content are similar.
Air Pressure
The amount of the force with which air molecules push on a surface.
Low Pressure System
A weather system that usually brings CLOUDINESS and stormy weather.
Stationary Front
Forms when a cold air mass and a warm air mass move TOWARD each other.
Front
Where 2 or more air masses meet.
High Pressure System
A weather system that generally brings CLEAR skies.
Science & Engineering Practice
Planning & Carrying out investigations.
Crosscutting Concept
Cause and Effect
Performance Expectation
Collect Data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses result in changes in weather conditions.
