3.  Each Mass is described with a Temperature & Moisture  Ex: Hot / Dry  Ex: Cold / Moist

4.  Air mass that forms over tropics is _______ than one that forms over the northern regions.  Air mass that forms over water is more ______ than one that forms over dry land.

5.  Recall: Winds blow from an area of ______ pressure to an area of _____ pressure!  (high to low)

6.  Associated with fair / nice / SUNNY/ clear weather because the high pressure does not allow air to rise and form clouds  Hint: Think of High 5= Good Weather  Or Thumbs UP!

7.  Associated with cloudy / rainy weather because the warm air rises and forms clouds  Thumbs Down

8.  Lines on a weather map that connect equal areas of pressure.  The lines show what type of wind may occur  Lines that are close= Strong/Fast Winds  Lines that are far= Little to No Wind

10.  It is usually cloudy and stormy at a front  4 Types ◦ Cold ◦ Warm ◦ Occluded ◦ Stationary

11. In your journals, identify these symbols

12.  Divide your paper into four equal sections  Read the FRONTS section on page 127 & 128  Label each section with the 4 fronts: ◦ Cold Front, Warm Front, Occluded Front, Stationary Front  Describe what happens at each front & what type of weather occurs  Draw a picture of each front & use Red & Blue colored pencils to add color.  INCLUDE THE SYMBOL OF THE FRONT!!!!!!

14.  Fronts move in the direction they are headed!  Tips: The blue triangles on a cold front= think of icicle  Q: What types of temperatures are left after a cold front moves through?  Q: What direction is this cold front moving?

16. Hint: The half circles on a warm front= think of the sun  Q: What types of temperature are left after a warm front moves through?  Q: What direction is this warm front moving?

17.  Neither cold nor warm air advances.  Hint: Think of the line of scrimmage in a football game when both teams equally push against each other  OR a Stationary Bike!

19.  Hint: The 2 C’s in oCCluded for 2 cold air masses.  Cold air masses close out the warm air from the surface.  The only front that includes ____ air masses. ( How many air masses are involved?)
