Why do we need the water Cycle?
The water cycle is the continuous movement of water from earth's surface to the atmosphere and back again. The water cycle recycles the water that has been used and circulates it around the world. Without the water cycle we would not have clean water to drink or water for our plants.

How would living near Fort Myers Beach make the climate milder in the winter time?
Water cools slower than the air. So when it is cold out the water would give off some of its heat to help warm the area on land.

How does a cold front form?
A cold front forms when a cold air mass slams in to a warm air mass forcing it straight up into the air. This causes the warm moist air to condense quickly forming a tall cloud called a cumulonimbus or thunderhead. They can produce violent sotrms.
