This air mass is moist

maritime

The type of front where a cold front overtakes a warm front.

Occluded front

Climographs show these two types of weather data.

Temperature and precipitation

Temperature is shown as this type of graph on a climograph.

Southern hemisphere

The number one thing that affects climate.

Latitude or amount of direct sunlight

A center of low pressure is called this.

cyclone

A center of high pressure is called this.

anticyclone

Daily Half!!
