300
How does a warm front typically change the weather as it approaches? (Looking for temperature and some sort of precipitation)
What is it brings steady rain and gradually rising temperatures?
300
Which location is most likely experiencing rainy, unstable weather conditions?
What is location D?
400
In what season would water from a pond evaporate the fastest and why?
What is summer? Because there are greater amounts of sun in the summer, and the pond would absorb more heat.

What type of weather does a maritime tropical air mass have (aka air masses over the EQUATOR)
What is moist (humid) and warm?
400
As air temperature decreases, what happens to the density?
What is increases?
400
What type of weather is typically associated with a cold front? (Looking for temperature and some sort of precipitation)
What are thunderstorms and a sudden drop in temperature?
400
Why does the windward side of this mountain have a
wet climate? Explain what is happening. (What does warm air do?)
Rising air expands and cools, causing the water vapor to condense.
