Plateaus are sometimes called plains in the air because of their structures. They are flat surfaces at the top of large hills.
Epiphyte are sometimes called an air plant .
The Pacific Ranges block any most air from the Pacific, and force the humidity to fall as rain. Storms form over the Great Plains when cool air from the north meets with warm, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico. However, the Rocky Mountains block any humid air from the Gulf, so it can't reach the basins and plateaus.
Air resistance is sometimes called drag. It is the force that opposes the motion of an object moving through the air.

The plains are of immense importance to man as an agricultural resource. Many plains, such as those in North America have deep and fertile soil, and their flatness facilitates mechanization of crop production. They also support grasslands which provide good grazing for livestock.

The most common air plant is the tillandsia which is a member of the bromeliad family.
The Troposphere.
When air stays in one place, it is called stagnation. Stagnant air can lead to poor air quality and contribute to the accumulation of pollutants and allergens. It is important for air to circulate to prevent stagnation.
Sea level pressure, sometimes as mean sea level pressure.
The plains indians experienced a variety of climates, since the Great Plains sit at the intersection of a lot of air masses and currents. During the winter, the air is very cold, but the summer brings warmer, moist air up from the south. Summer is the rainiest season, with unstable, warm air masses coming up from the Gulf and causing storms on the plains.
Gas masks are sometimes called "APR" - Air Purifying Respirator.
