Air Masses AIR MASS= large body of air throughout which temp. and moisture are similar 4 types: ContinentalMaritime Tropical Polar

Fronts FRONTS= the boundary of an air mass when 2 air masses of different temps/moisture collide COLD FRONT= when a cold air mass overtakes a warm air mass. If the warm air is moist, clouds will form and thunderstorms will result. WARM FRONT= when a cold air mass leaves, a warm front moves in. Results in precipitation over a large area. OCCLUDED FRONT=fast moving cold air mass lifts warm air off the ground

Severe Weather Tornadoes Rotating column of air with high winds Forms when a thunderstorm meets high altitude horizontal winds Thunderstorms Rain, thunder, lightning, strong winds Lightning=cloud s discharging electricity. Noise is Thunder. Hurricanes Develop over warm oceans Most dangerous part of hurricane is STORM SURGE; rising sea level and large waves
