Wind Surfing 100
Wind is measured by what two weather tools?
Anemometer measures wind speed and a wind vane measures wind direction. The wind vane points in the direction the wind is coming from.

5. Air masses flow from regions of high pressure to low pressure.

Air masses flow from regions of high pressure to low pressure.

6. Wind Surfing 400
What is weather?
Weather is everything that occurs in the atmosphere at a particular place and time. It is defined as: humidity, pressure, temperature, wind, and precipitation.

7. Drop in pressure and increase in wind
Wind Surfing 300
What are two weather factors that help predict that a storm is approaching?
Drop in pressure and increase in wind

Weather moves across the US generally in which direction?
West to East.

9. Climate 100
What is climate?
Climate is the weather patterns of a region averaged over several years.

10. See the climate graph for Seattle. Which month receives the most rain?
November

11. Check the climate data to know the weather averages over time.
I want to travel to Costa Rica in Would it be better to check weather data or climate data to know what season is best for travelling?
Check the climate data to know the weather averages over time.

12. During which season are the temperatures the highest?
Climate 400
During which season are the temperatures the highest?
Summer

13. Climate 500
Can climate data be used to predict severe weather storms? Why or why not?
No. Climate data is the average weather patterns over years. Storms are rapid changes in the atmosphere.

24. Air Masses and Fronts 100
What is an air mass?
A large volume of air with similar temperature, pressure and humidity throughout

25. Effects: clouds, chance of rain, warmer temperatures.
Air Masses and Fronts 200
Draw a warm front. What are the effects of a warm front passing by?
Effects: clouds, chance of rain, warmer temperatures.

26. Which is denser, cold air or hot air?
Air Masses and Fronts 300
Which is denser, cold air or hot air?
What is cold air

27. Draw a cold front. Describe the effects of a cold front
Air Masses and Fronts 400
Draw a cold front. Describe the effects of a cold front
Effects: decrease in temperatures, cloudy, may have thunderstorms, may have precipitation.

28. Explain how clouds form at a front.
Air Masses and Fronts 500
Explain how clouds form at a front.
Warm, moist air rises above colder air because it is less dense. As it rises the air cools and water vapor condenses onto dust particles in the atmosphere creating a cloud.

29. What happens at stationary front? Draw the symbol.
FINAL JEOPARDY!
What happens at stationary front? Draw the symbol.
Cold air and warm air are near each other but are not pushing into one another.
