100
cold,dense, fast moving air runs into warm less dense air and slides underneath it
What is a Cold Front
100
A warm and wet air mass
What is Maritime Tropical
100

100
Water Surface, Oceans,Ice Caps
What is Boundaries
200
The process by which water molecules in liquid water escape into the air as water vapor
What is Evaporation
200
warm, less dense fast moving air runs into more dense cold air and slides over it

200
Evaporation,Precipitation,Condensation,Melting,Freezing
What is Interactions
300
Millions of tiny water droplets or ice crystals
What is a Cloud

400
A cold and dry air mass
What is Continental Polar
400
Glacier (river of ice) to River
What is Melting
400
Precipitation,Evaporation,Water Vapor,Ice/Snow,Energy from sun/gravity
What is Inputs/Outputs
500
An underground layer of porous rocks and/or sand that contains water
What is an Aquifer
500
Why does cool air come off of the ocean in the day
Because the water is cooler in the day while the sand is hotter because of the sun's radiation/heat

The air masses that are closest to California
What is Maritime Polar and Maritime Tropical Air Masses
500
Cloud to soil
What is Precipitation
500
To keep flowing through condensation and the atmosphere to the clouds and back in the ocean
