2. front a warm air mass becomes trapped between two cold air masses.
4. occur low in the troposphere.
7. have more air pressure than their surroundings.
10. is the amount of water vapor in the air.
11. is the science dealing with the atmosphere
13. mass is a large body of air that has about the same conditions throughout.
14. is a funnel-shaped cloud of whirling high winds.

1. suck" air into them because nature wants everything to have equal pressure.
3. measures the amount of air (barometric) pressure in the air.
4. surge is very high water located in the low pressure eye of the hurricane.
5. front The warm air mass is moving faster than the cold air mass
6. forms high in the troposphere.
8. is an enormous storm with high winds and heavy rains.
9. water vapor condenses as ice crystals but they melt in warmer air in the atmosphere and then refreeze closer to the ground as small ice pellets
10. is used to measure humidity.
12. Hail forms in thunderstorms when strong updrafts carry rain high into the troposphere.
16. front occurs when a cold air mass runs into a warm air mass.
17. water vapor condenses as ice crystals and the temperature remains below freezing as it falls to the ground
19. water droplets that fall when the temperature is above freezing
