Weather and Climate

3. the amount of water vapor in the air
9. a huge release of electricity, can jump between oppositely charged parts of the same cloud
10. the large body of air that has about the same conditions throughout
11. the state of the atmosphere including temperature, pressure, wind and humidity
12. systems that have less pressure and suck air into them because nature wants everything to be equal
15. a funnel shaped cloud of whirling high winds
18. an enourmous storm with high winds and heavy rains, form over warm ocean water
19. clouds that are puffy and white, cause rain and mostly grow upward
21. when air heats and expands so quickly that it explodes
23. a boundary between air masses that have different temperatures
24. the percent of water vapor in the air relative to the total amount the air can hold

1. known for heavy rains and lightning, hail and high winds are likely
2. clouds that form high in the troposhphere and are made of ice crystals
4. when two air masses stop moving when they meet
5. the temperature at which water vapor condenses
6. a system that has more air pressure than their surroundings
7. All the weather conditions for a particular location over a long period
8. when a fast moving cold air mass runs into a warm air mass
13. clouds that form low in the troposhphere and happen in layers that cover the entire sky
14. when a warm air mass becomes trapped bewtween two cold air masses
16. There are four main types of this including rain, sleet, snow, and hail
17. The continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere
20. when a fast moving warm air mass runs into a cold air mass
22. a snow storm that has high winds greater than 35 mph
