8. 7) Draw and complete the air mass concept map
7) Draw and complete the air mass concept map. This is located in your ISN.

9. 8) Get a copy of the Air Masses/Source Region map
8) Get a copy of the Air Masses/Source Region map. Label each air mass and the source region that it affects. Once you are finished, draw and complete the classification of air masses chart.
Air Mass
Form over land or water? Is the mass dry or wet?
Form in cold or warm region? Is the mass warm or cold?
Continental Polar
Maritime Polar
Maritime Tropical
Continental Tropical

10. 9) Complete a diagram/drawing of the water cycle.
Make sure to include the following words:
Runoff
Surface Water
Transpiration
Condensation
Evaporation
Precipitation
The diagram should have:
A picture of each stage
The vocabulary word
Arrows showing the cycle’s path

11. 10) Draw and label the air pressure system diagram
10) Draw and label the air pressure system diagram. Under it, describe what is happening in in the illustration as well as characteristics of each pressure system (air direction, temperature, weather association).

12. 11) Draw and complete the front table below.
Name
Weather Symbol
Describe the Front Formation
Weather
Diagram
Cold Front
Warm Front
Stationary Front
Occluded Front

13. 12) Get a copy of the map. Create your own weather map based on the instructions. Once you are finished, write the question AND answers on the space below it.
Where would we expect to find clear or clouds?
Where would you expect to find a storm?
What happens to the air masses at the cold front?

14. It contains a high concentration of gas particles
13. Get a copy of the EOG questions and test your knowledge of the Earth systems, structures, and functions.
Why does the troposphere experience the greatest amount of atmospheric pressure compared to the other atmospheric layers?
It contains a high concentration of gas particles
It has the highest temperatures
It is the region in which weather occurs
 produces the ozone layer
How would you describe the spacing of air particles as you increase in altitude in the atmosphere?
The air particles are closer packed/spaced at the Earth’s surface and become less close as you increase in altitude.
The air particles are evenly spaced throughout the atmosphere
The air particles become closer spaced as you go away from Earth’s surface
Which explains why most of the rain that falls comes from the ocean?
A The majority of evaporation takes place over the ocean.
B The majority of precipitation takes place over the ocean.
C Most rivers deposit freshwater into the ocean.
D Most clouds form near or over the ocean.
Barometric pressure has been dropping all day. What weather conditions will
most likely occur?
A sunny weather
B stormy weather
C calm weather
D hot weather
A sea breeze blows from the ocean toward the shore. Why does this occur?
A High pressure over the land causes a downdraft to occur.
B The tide carries the wind to the shore as it moves back and forth.
C Conduction of heat from the warm water produces wind from the ocean.
D Air over land heats faster than air over water, which causes convection.
Doppler radar shows a vertical rotating column of air with high wind speeds.
Which is most likely occurring?
A the formation of a hurricane
B the formation of a tornado
C approaching warm front
D approaching snowstorm
