Clouds
How do clouds form?
What is from water vapor condensing
This type of front is fast moving, it pushes up warm air FAST and creates strong winds and storm conditions.
What is a cold front.
I measure the speed of wind
What is anemometer
This type of air mass forms over Canada.
What is a cP- continental polar.
"Happy" weather that is clear skies and sunny.
What is high pressure.
Name the type of clouds that form along a cold front.
What is cumulus- these clouds can create storms
Draw and explain the symbol for a warm front.
A curved red line with circles on it- pointing in the direction the warm air is moving.
if you have a fever or to measure the temperature of the air, use me
What is a thermometer
This air mass is dry and hot.
What is a cT- continental tropical.
The direction that wind flows between high and low pressure areas.
What is high to low pressure.
What type of cloud forms along a warm front?
What is stratus- layered and spread out clouds
A type of front where two cold air masses meet, pushing up a warm air mass in the middle.
Feeling like the air is weighing down on you, to measure air pressure use me
What is a barometer
What type of airmass is the driest and coldest?
Low pressure days bring this type of weather.
Cloudy, overcast, windy, stormy.
What happens in clouds after condensation occurs?
What is precipitation
A type of front where a cold and warm air mass meet, but don't move because neither has the energy to push the other.
What is a stationary front?
Curious about how much rain fell in a certain period of time? Use me to measure it
What is a rain gauge
The types of air masses that form near the equator.
What is Tropical.
True or False?
The Isobars map can tell me the temperatures of a region.
False
Clouds form when this kind of air rises, expands and cools
What is warm air
Warm air mass meets and rises above cold air masses during this kind of front
What is warm
Use this tool to measure the amount of water vapor (humidity) in the air.
What is a hygrometer.
These 2 types of air masses can meet to cause hurricanes and strong storms because they have a lot of water vapor in them.
What is cT and mT.
Close lines on an isobar map indicate.
A greater difference in pressure and high winds in that area.
