Chapter 9 Meteorology

Weather unequal heating of the earth’s atmosphere Our atmosphere is a mixture of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Carbon gasses. Other gasses too but these are the most common

Climate The specific weather over a large geographic area Example - amount of rainfall, solar radiation, average temperature

Air Masses Continental - dry Maritime - humid Tropical - warm Polar - cold

Fronts Where two air masses meet and do not mix Cold Warm Stationary - stand still Occluded - trapped air

Water Cycle Evaporation —> Condensation —> Precipitation

Isolines Show air pressure or temperature As altitude increases, air pressure decreases
