Air Masses
100
It is the direct transfer of energy through space by electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
100
The temperature at which water vapor condenses so a cloud can form.
What is dew point?
100
It is the horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.
What is the definition of wind?
100
The definition of fronts.
What is The boundary where unlike air masses meet but do not mix?
100
A huge body of air that has similar temperature, humidity, and air pressure throughout.
What is an air mass ?
200
It is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
What is convection?
200
It is the recipe for clouds.
What is water vapor in the air + dust particles for the vapor to condense on + the temperature to be at or below dew point ?
200
The movement of wind on a global scale.
What is global winds?
200
When cold dense fast moving air runs into warm less dense air and slides underneath it.
What is a cold front?
200
A warm and wet air mass.
What is maritime tropical air mass ?
300
It is the direct transfer of heat between two substances that are touching.
What is conduction?
300
They are the three main types of clouds.
What are cirrus clouds, cumulus clouds, and stratus clouds?
300
The movement of wind on a local scale.
What is local winds?
300
Warm less dense fast moving air runs into more dense cold air and slides over the top of it.
What is a warm front?
300
A cold and wet air mass.
What is a maritime polar air mass ?
400
They are examples of conduction and radiation.
What is happening when hot sand touches your feet and what is happening when the sun shines on you?
400
It is a cloud.
What is water vapor that has condensed into millions of tiny water droplets or ice crystals ?
400
This type of local wind occurs at nighttime.
What is land breeze?
400
A cold and warm air mass meet but cannot move past one another.
What is a stationary front?
400
A dry and warm air mass.
What is a continental tropical air mass?
500
It is an example of convection.
What is happening when water in a pot comes to a boil on the stove?
500
They are hail, snow, rain, and sleet.
What are the types of precipitation clouds can be responsible for ?
500
This type of local wind occurs during daytime.
What is sea breeze?
500
A warm air mass gets caught between two cold air masses and pushed upward.
What is an occluded front?
500
A dry and cold air mass.
What is a continental polar air mass?
