Chapter 3 Weather Fronts and Storms Vocabulary Review

the boundary between two air masses front

a large and often stormy weather system that occurs when air moves around and into a low-pressure center, then moves up to higher altitudes low-pressure system

a blinding snow storm with winds of at least 35 mi/hr (56 km/hr), usually with temperatures below 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) blizzard

a large volume of air that has nearly the same temperature and humidity at different locations at the same altitude air mass

a rapid rise in the water level in a coastal area that occurs when a hurricane pushes a huge mass of ocean water, often leading to flooding and widespread damage storm surge

a scientist who studies weather meteorologist

a low pressure-system that starts in the tropics with winds of at least 40 mi/hr (65 km/hr) but less than 74 mi/hr (120 km/hr) tropical storm

a violently rotating column of air stretching from a cloud to the ground tornado

a generally calm and clear weather system that occurs when air sinks down in a high-pressure center and spreads out towards areas of lower pressure as it nears the ground high-pressure system

a storm with thunder and lightning thunderstorm

a tropical low-pressure system with sustained winds of 74 mi/hr (120 km/hr) hurricane

a line on a weather map connecting places that have the same air pressure isobar
