10 Warm Front Area of low pressure Cold Front Pat

11 Describe the direction of air flow in a depression.

12 Draw the direction of air flow
Low Pressure Warm Front Cold Front Warm Sector Draw the direction of air flow Where Is Pat?

13 Why are there clouds here? Why are there showers here?
Frontal Convection or Relief rainfall. Why is it clearer here?

14 Showers after the Cold Front Rain, Thunder and Lightening
