This is a boundary between two air masses

What is a front?

100

These air masses originate over water

What are maritime air masses?

100

This is caused by the weight of the air above an area

What is air pressure?

100

The source for Earth's heat

The Sun

100

Type of heat transfer from the Sun to the Earth

Radiation

200

A warm air mass glides over the cooler air mass producing light drizzle or snow.

What are warm fronts?

200

This air mass is warm and humid.

What is maritime tropical?

200

This type of pressure causes clouds and rain or storms.

What is Low Pressure?

200

Part of the Earth that gets the most direct light from the Sun

The Equator

200

What water temperatures do Hurricanes need to start

Warmer temperatures

300

Cold air rushes under the warm air forcing it to rise.

What are cold fronts?

300

This air mass is formed over Canada.

What is Continental Polar?

300

This makes sunny clear skies with calm winds that spiral clockwise

What are high pressure systems?

300

True of false:

The Sun heats the Earth unevenly 

True

300
The Movement of the ocean surface is facilitated by this 

What is the wind?

400

Storms form

What are cold fronts?

400

This is a large body of air with relatively similar temperature and humidity 

What are air masses?

400

This is how Low Pressure air moves.

Moves upward in the atmosphere 

400

True or False:

The Poles receive the same amount of Sunlight 

False

400

Convection changes a property of water that allows it to rise when heated

What is denisty?

500

These cause light rain over several days and fog. Warm and cold air masses face each other but do not move.

What are stationary fronts?

500

These air mass is warm and dry.

What is Continental Tropical?

500

High pressure is formed from cold air that does this

What is sinking 

500

The heat from the Sun triggers this type of heat transfer in the atmosphere and hydrosphere 

Convection

500

The name of the latitude at zero degrees

 

What is the equator?
