What happens in a stationary front

A cold air mass and a warm air mass meet, with neither moving.
During a stationary front the weather will stay the same for several days or more than a week. It depends on what type of front is making the other front stationary.

If the relative humidity is high and the temperature drops water vapor may

condense

How are pressure measurements related to weather prediction

Decreasing pressure indicates stormy weather.

Increasing Pressure indicates better weather.

What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the poles

earths tilt (apex)

What method of forecasting uses the effects of past weather conditions as part of its forecasting method

analog method

What type of air mass would produce warm dry weather in the summer

continental tropical

You can locate regions of low wind speed on a weather map by locating what

regions where isobars are spaced far apart

What cool region underneath cloud cover will have a region with no cloud cover

A higher pressure than

Which type of the following is true of clouds at medium altitudes

mostly water

What would occur if the earth was tilted

The Earth is tilted, and it causes seasons.

What is the dew point a mesurment of

The Dew Point is a measurement of the water vapor in the air … the Humidity.

What is a pressure gradient and how is it related to air movement

Pressure gradient is the rate of pressure change as you change position,

not just the difference between the lowest pressure and the highest pressure,

but how great (or small) the physical distance between them.

Since it the pressure difference that make air flow (wind)

the greater the pressure gradient, the greater the wind.

What is the difference of the causes between a sea breeze and a land breeze

The only difference - is the direction of flow. A sea breeze blows from the sea onto the land. A land breeze flows in the opposite direction.

For the same insolation order these regions from highest absorption to lowest.

How does region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in. What is the best prediction about the weather from this information

How does a region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in. What is the best prediction about the weather from this information?

Hpow do the conditions in the united states change when the jet stream moves north
