1-100 All types of weather move in this general direction across the United States.

1-100A What is from West to East?

1-200 This type of weather front brings a short period of heavy precipitation.

1-200A What is a cold front?

1-300 This type of front is followed with warm air and winds from the south-southwest.

1-300A What is a warm front?

1-400 When a cold and warm front oppose one another and end up staying in the same place this front is formed.

1-400A What is a stationary front?

1-500 This type of weather front happens when a cold front overtakes a warm front lifting the warm air mass off of the ground. Be specific.

1-500A What is a cold type occluded front?

This type of air mass developed in the Northern Pacific.

2-100A What is maritime polar?

2-200 This air mass developed over The Gulf of Mexico.

2-200A What is maritime tropical?

2-300 This air mass brings cold, dry air down from Canada during the spring, summer and fall seasons.

2-300A What is continental polar ?

2-400 These are the properties of a cT air mass.

2-400A What are hot and dry?

2-500 This air mass brings the most dense air.

2-500A What is continental arctic?

This is a warm air pressure system.

3-100A What is low pressure?

3-200 This pressure system produces wind that turns counter- clockwise in the northern hemisphere.

3-200A What is low pressure?

3-300 This ‘effect’ is the reason that wind is deflected around pressure systems.

3-300A What is the coriolis effect?

3-400 This pressure system has winds that blow out from the center.

3-400A What is high pressure?

3-500 This pressure system brings clear skies with cool and dry air.

3-500A What is high pressure?

These clouds look like cotton balls and are found just after a thunderstorm.

4-100A What are cumulus?

4-200 This word added to a cloud signifies precipitation can be found with warm, stationary, and occluded fronts.

4-200A What is nimbo or nimbus?

4-300 This is a thunderstorm cloud, found with cold fronts and occluded fronts.

4-300A What is cumulonimbus?

4-400 As a warm front approaches, this will happen to the altitude of the clouds.

4-400A What is lower?

4-500 These clouds can be found hours before a warm front.

4-500A What are cirrus or cirrostratus?

As high pressure approaches, this is what happens to the temperature of the air.

5-100A What is cool or drop?

5-200 The long form of air pressure ‘1016.4’ converted to short form is this.

5-200A What is 164?

5-300 When relating station models to the clock, current air temperature can be found at this time.

5-300A What is 10 o’clock?

5-400 Winds just after a frontal thunderstorm are likely to blow from this direction.

5-400A What is south west?

5-500 On June 21-22, this is the angle of insolation at the Tropic of Cancer.

5-500A What is 90º?

When the dew point temperature and air temperature are very close, this will most likely occur.

6-100A What is precipitation?

6-200 This type of pressure is associated with all precipitation.

6-200A What is low pressure?

6-300 This latitude has the highest surface temperature due to the high angle of insolation year round.

6-300A What is 0º?

6-400 This process involving mountains causes more precipitation on the windward side of a mountain.

6-400A What is orographic lifting?

6-500 This is the temperature at which clouds form.

6-500A What is the dew point temperature?

Draw the low pressure, cold front, and warm front on the map.
