Weather 8th Grade Project thing

3. brings thunderstorms and leaves overcast and colder weather behind
4. digital tool used to track weather systems such as wind directions, speed, and size of storm
8. fast narrow air current that blows from west to east in the upper atmosphere causing weather to generally move in a west east direction across the U.S.
12. The circular motion of liquids or gasses caused by density differences that result from temperature. Warm, less dense matter rises and cools, more dence matter sinks
13. Pressure system where dense air sinks, generally causing dry and clear weather
14. ocean water with cooler surface temperature shifts east causing drier winter
16. layer of earths atmosphere taht we live in and where weather occurs. Wind speed increases but temperature and air pressure decreases as you move higher in this layer
18. ocean currents that brings cold nutrient rich water down from alaska along the west coast
20. similar air pressure system distributed across latitude
22. ocean water with warm surface temperature shifts east causing a wetter winter
23. abnormal rise in sea levels caused by a hurricane and can lead to dangerous flooding
24. boundary where two different air masses meet casuing weather

1. created by the uneven heating by the solar radiation causes convection currentsin the air (weterlies, easterlies, trade winds)
2. Pressure system where less dense air rise,s generally causing wet and overcast weather
5. bring drizzly rain and leaves clear skies and warmer weather behind
6. day to day conditions in the atmosphere including humidity cloud over temperature wind and precipitation
7. mature tropical storm that forms in areas of low pressure over warm tropical oceans where the storm is fueled by evaporation also known as a typhoon in other regions
9. continuous movement of wacondensationhe ocean, atmosphere, and land where surface water evaporates into the atmosphere allowing clouds to form by condenstation, and then fall back to earth as precipitation
10. forms over land when a cool dry high pressure air mass collides with a warm moist low pressure air mass
11. ocean current that brings warm water from the equator up along ht east coast and over Europe
15. the apparent curving of a moving objects path from a straight line due to the earths rotation
17. produced by wind, temperature and density differences caused from uneven heating by solar radiation thus distributing energy.
19. the forces excerted on the surface of earth by the air above
21. a large body of air that has similar temperature and water vapor throughout
