Why are air masses important to weather?
air masses are important because the unequal heating of the earth causes movement of huge volumes of air. air masses formed over cold areas stay cold throughout and air masses formed over warm areas stay warm throughout
How do prevailing winds affect the amount of precipitation an area receives?
it depends on the movement of huge air masses. air masses are moved from place to place by prevaling windsPrevailing winds can move rain producing clouds into or out of an area, the jet stream controls most of the weather in the northern hemisphere.
What are strong shaking movement of the Earths curst called?
These are called earthquakes, they are caused by two huge rock plates in the earth which crash into each other.

Earths lithosphere is broken into huge moving slabs of rock driven by motions in the mantle?
The motion in the mantle is known as convection currents which helps move earth's slabs, known as plates. Convection occurs in the upper mantle known as the asthenosphere.
What part of the earths stores huge amounts of the sun's heat?
The Oceans stores the huge amounts of the sun's heat.
Why doesn't water drop off on the underside of the world?
Water and everything else have mass. The Earth is a very large object with a huge amount of mass. Gravity is the attraction between any masses. The Earth wins. The center seeking effect of the Earths gravity beats the oceans and seas and you and everything else here. There is no "underside" to the World relative to the Earths center.
