What weather comes with low pressure?
What are the 4 types of fronts?
What is a storm? (give 4 examples)

3. Air mass and Fronts Large body of air that has the same -temperature
-pressure &
-humidity
A Front – boundary between two air masses

4. What do you think of when you hear pressure?

-temperature
-pressure &
-humidity
What do you think of when you hear pressure?

5. QUESTIONs What is an air mass and its 3 characteristics?

6. High-pressure system Brings sunshine and good weather
Large body of air that has the same
-temperature
-pressure &
-humidity
High-pressure system
Large body of circulating air with high pressure at center and lower pressure outside
As high pressure is an area of sinking air, and air tends to dry out as it sinks, leaving sunny skies.
Brings sunshine and good weather

8. Large body of air that has the same
-temperature
-pressure &
-humidity
Low-pressure system
Large body of circulating air with low pressure at center and higher pressure outside
Low pressure areas are generally cloudy/rainy areas -- where strong areas of low pressure bring our stormiest weather.
That's because it's an area of rising air, and as air rises, it condenses into clouds and rain.
brings clouds and precipitation

Weather map codes

12. In continental the US
Cold Fronts: cold air moves under warm air forcing the warm air upwards
Warm Front: move slowly and brings warm, humid air

13. In continental the US
Stationary Front: forms when a cold mass meets a warm mass but neither have enough force to move one another
Occluded Front: warm air mass is caught between two cold air masses
Because cold air moves faster

15. What is a storm?
Violent disturbance in the atmosphere called severe weather
Thunderstorms: small storm accompanied by thunder and lightning formed from large cumulonimbus clouds
Tornado: rapidly, whirling, funnel-shaped cloud that reaches down from a storm cloud and touches the Earth’s surface formed when a thunderstorm updrafts begin to rotate
Hurricane: intense tropical storm with winds exceeding 119 km/hr formed over warm ocean water as a low-pressure area
Blizzard: violent winter storm characterized by freezing temperatures, strong winds and blowing snow
