Weather and Climate

amount of water vapor in air

large bodies of air that have same properties as earth surface over which it develops

boundary between warm and cold air masses

line on weather map that connects points of equal temperature

line on weather map that connects points of equal atmospheric pressure

predicts weather by taking measurements of precipitation, wind, humidity, air pressure and temperature.

measure of the amount of water vapor that the sir is holding compared to the amount it can hold at a given temperature

temperature at which air is saturated and condensation forms - changes within the amount of moisture in air

shows weather condition in 1 specific location

line on weather map that connects points of equal temperature

line of weather map that connects points of equal atmospheric pressure

Studies the weather by taking measurements of temperature, air pressure, wind, humidity, and precipitation; they predict weather

Tornadoes, Lightning, Thunder,

temperature of air, density of air, amoutn of water vapor held in air. high pressure systems create good sunny weather while low pressure systems make bad cloudy weather

snow, rain, sleet, and hail

high pressure systems create good sunny weather (because it is tight and can’t hold much water vapor) while low pressure systems make bad cloudy weather (has more space to create water vapor)

shape, height, and/or precipitation
