Weather & Fronts

4. a front where two cold air masses push out a warm air mass, causes a sudden drop in temperature and heavy precipitation.
6. air moving from a high to a low pressure area.
7. pressure associated with sunny, clear weather
8. cold and warm air mass meets, causes long periods of rain and fog.
9. molecules are close together, move slowly and more dense.
11. curving of moving objects from a straight path due to the rotation of the Earth.
14. slow front, causes gentle rain/snow.
15. pattern of weather that occurs in an area over many years.
17. the boundary between any two air masses

1. warm air mass is pushed by a cold air mass, causes severe weather for ex. thunderstorms, heavy rain and snow.
2. large swirling low pressure system that forms over warm water
3. The state of atmosphere at a specific time and place
5. As the land cools off at night, air pressure over it increases, and a cool LandBreeze blows out to the sea.
10. is the main driving force of weather caused by indirect sunlight hitting the Earth's surface.
12. While the land is warm during the day, air above it rises, and a cool breeze blows in from the sea.
13. molecules are far apart, move quickly and less dense.
16. pressure associated with precipitation and storms such as thunderstorms, tornadoes and hurricanes
