Temperature

the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object

100

A body of air with horizontally uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure. In short, a section of air with the same temperature, humidity, and pressure.

Air Mass

100
Name the types of clouds
Cumulus, Cirrus and Stratus
100

Requirements of a tornado

Warm, moist air and cold, dry air in a rotation

200
What is climate?
Climates describes the main weather characteristics of a place.
200

 the transition between two air masses 

Weather Fronts

200

Cumulus clouds

clouds which have flat bases and are often described as "puffy",

200

high wind rotating storm that forms over tropical and subtropical water.  

Hurricane

300
Name the three main climate categories
Polar, Temperate and Tropical
300

Types of Weather Fronts

Warm, Cold, Stationary, and Occluded

300

Cirrus clouds

A wispy white cloud at high altitude 
300

Difference between Hurricanes and Tornados

Hurricanes Form over tropical/Sub-tropical water, while tornados form over land. As well as intensity

400
What are the main components of the weather?
Water, air and heat from the Sun
400

Types of Air Masses

arctic, tropical, polar, and equatorial.

400

Stratus clouds

Low clouds that stretch over large portions of sky

400

This scale helps researchers in determining the level of damage based on the tornado intensity.

Fujita scale

500
What factors determine the different world climates?
the size and location of landmasses the presence of mountains ans plains atmospheric wind systems ocean currents
500

How do Air Masses and Weather Fronts Relate

Air masses are different systems of air, weather fronts are the movement of the air masses 

500

How are clouds formed?

when the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals.

What are the levels of the Fujita Scale

EF0 - EF5
