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.

What is thought to have caused the ice ages

Earth's Precession

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

Why can bodies of water create microclimates

They cool and heat more slowly than the land around them

Which climate zone receives the highest insolation

The tropical climate zone receives the highest insulation.

What Latin word related to clouds means wispy

Cirrus.

Cirrus clouds are wispy or curly. Cirrus means "wispy."

What kind of air would be characteristic of a continental polar air mass

Continental polar masses are cold and dry air masses because the cold air cannot hold much moisture. As they move into warmer air, they can trigger precipitation.

A front forms where two of different temperature meet each other

air masses

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 does the L symbol indicate on a weather map

What does this symbol indicate on a weather map?

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.

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?

as a result of the coriolis effect an air mass moving from the north pole toward the equator will
