These are the two main gases in the atmosphere.
What are nitrogen and oxygen?
100
Heat will move this way if you put a piece of ice into a warm soda.
What is from the soda into the ice?
100
This is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with water and starts the condensation process.
What is dew point?
100
This type of pressure system is normally associated with clouds, rain, and fast winds.
What is a low pressure system?
100
This type of front stalls over an area for an extended period of time, causing lots of rain.
What is a stationary front?
200
In this layer of the atmosphere, ozone exists.
What is the stratosphere?
200
This is the method by which large masses of air can heat up an area.
What is convection?
200
This temperature of air can hold more water vapor than other temperatures.
What is warm air?
200
This is how a high pressure system spins.
What is clockwise?
200
This type of front would be indicated on a map with purple semi-circles and triangles.
What is an occluded front?
300
Ozone reflects this percentage of solar radiation.
What is 30%?
300
As you move down in altitude, this is what happens to the temperature.
What is increases?
300
This is the process in which air is lifted by rising above mountains.
What is orographic lifting?
300
The air in an cyclone does this type of vertical movement.
What is goes up?
300
This type of front produces light rain, followed by warmer temperatures.
What is a warm front?
400
This is how temperature changes as you move up through the mesosphere.
What is decreases?
400
This latitude/position on the Earth would have the highest temperatures.
What is the equator?
400
This would be the name for a clouds that covers the sky and produces rain.
What is a nimbostratus cloud?
400
Wind on the ground, or in the jet streams, always moves from this pressure region to the other.
What is from high pressure to low pressure?
400
This type of air mass is formed over land close to the equator.
What is a cT?
500
This is what clouds, land, and water do with solar radiation.
What is absorption?
500
Cloud cover at night would cause temperatures to be ___________ than normal.
What is higher?
500
This is the type of clouds at altitudes between 2000-6000m and is shaped like puffs.
What is altocumulus?
500
The isobars on a map would be closer together in this type of pressure system.
What is a low pressure system?
500
This type of air mas would bring moist, cold air with the potential for snow.
What is a mP?
