How is a front formed

A front forms when two or more air masses come in contact with each other. The front is usually a line where they meet.

The position of the polar jet stream is usually somewhere between

Southern Canada and Mexico

What is thought to have caused the ice ages

Earth's Precession

How are pressure measurements related to weather prediction

Decreasing pressure indicates stormy weather.

Increasing Pressure indicates better weather.

Ocean and wind currents are both caused by

uneven insolation

What kind of air would be characteristic of a maritime tropical air mass

Warm, humid

Which climate zone receives the highest insolation

The tropical climate zone receives the highest insulation.

When will condensation occur

When the surface temp. drops below the dew point temp

What is a name for a front that spirals counter clockwise in the nothern hemisphere

A front that spirals counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere is called an occluded front.

Fronts don't flow counterclockwise, although a low does have a counterclockwise spin and frontal systems form off of a low.

Wind shear can result in the formation of a

Wind shear can result in the formation of a tornado.

The location of the determines how cold it is in the midwestern US

Polar jet stream

The property of water that causes it to moderate the climate around lakes is its

heat capacity

Clouds form when water vapor in the atmosphere cools to

Its Dew Point

What forms along the boundary where two contrasting air masses meet

a front

What usually means rainy weather because moist air is rising

Decreaseing air pressure

What does the L symbol indicate on a weather map

What does this symbol indicate on a weather map?

low pressure

La navidad es el 25 de novembre

No. Es el 25 de diciembre.

When a cold air mass catches up to a warm air mass its called a what

When a cold FRONT catches up to a warm FRONT it is called an occluded front.

When a cold AIR MASS displaces a warmer AIR MASS it is a cold front.
Occluded front

Which of the Earths layers is just below lower mantle

The molten bit of the Iron core.

Which climate zone tends to have cold winters and warm summers

Temperate climates have cold winters and warm summers.

What condition is required for all thunderstorms

For starters, the thing you will need for all storms is Low Air Pressure. So you will always need this for all thunderstorms.

What is the proximity of bodies of water in temperate climates

It is the distance is between bodies of water in temperate climates, or one's proximity, or 'closeness,' to the bodies of water.

What method is a forecasting method that looks at the conditions that lead to particular weather events.

Analog

What is the Match each measurement tool with what it measures

Hygrometer = Humidity

Thermometer = Temperature

Weather Vane = Wind direction

Anemometer = Wind
