15. Question 4 Label the following image with High Temperature Low Temperature High Pressure Low Pressure Arrow showing wind movement

16. Answer 4 5 Points

17. Question 5 Describe what causes winds / how winds move

18. Answer 5 4 Points Cold air has a high pressure (1 point) and warm air has a low pressure (1 point). Winds move from high pressure (cold air) to low pressure (warm air) (1 point). Air moves from high pressure to low pressure so the molecules are evenly spaced (1 point)

19. Question 6 Provide two similarities and two differences between local and global winds

20. Answer 6 6 Points Similarities Caused by uneven heating / pressure Molecules try to balance / spread out Local Winds ●Short Distances / Changes Daily ●Winds travel between land and water Global Winds ●Long distances / Lasts weeks ●Winds travel between poles and equator ●Winds curve due to Earths rotation

21. Question 7 Explain the difference between weather and climate. Mention at least 3 differences.

22. Answer 7 8 Points Weather is daily changes in weather while climate is 30 year averages of data (2 points) Weather is impacted by changes in the water cycle, air masses and weather fronts (2 points) while climate is impacted by elevation, geography, and surface features (2 points) Weather is what you actually get daily while climate is what you expect daily (2 points)

23. Question 8 How are air masses different from air fronts?

24. Answer 8 2 Points Air masses are large bodies of air that get their characteristics from the land/water below it (1 point) while air fronts are the boundaries between air masses that get their characteristics from the air masses that collide (1 point)

25. Question 9 Name and describe air mass D and B Include location and characteristics

26. Answer 9 6 Points Air Mass D Maritime Tropical Formed over water near the equator Warm and Wet Air Mass B Continental Polar Formed over land near the poles Cold and Dry

27. Question 10 How are cold fronts different from warm fronts? Mention how they are formed, how they are identified, and the weather that occurs afterwards

28. Answer 10 8 Points Cold Front Formed when an cold air mass moves in and under a warm air mass (1 pt) Cold weather occurs afterwards (1 pt) Identified by cumulonimbus clouds, thunderstorms, significant drop in pressure, and cold weather following (2 pts) Warm Front Formed when a warm air mass moves in and over a cold air mass (1 pt) Warm weather occurs afterwards (1 pt) Identified by stratus clouds, hours of rain, and warm weather following (2 pts)

29. Question 11 Using the key, describe the weather at each weather station.
