Wind that begins with high pressure over the land and moves toward low pressure over the ocean What is a land breeze? Wind that starts with high pressure over the ocean and moves toward low pressure over land What is a sea breeze? Wind that begins with high pressure at the mountain top and moves toward the low pressure in the valley below What is a mountain breeze? Wind that starts as high pressure in the valley and moves toward the low pressure on the mountain top What is a valley breeze? The properties of this are determined by the part of the Earth’s surface over which it forms What is an air mass? Name the type of front: What is a warm front? The kind of front that forms when a warm air mass is forced up over a cold air mass What is warm? Name two things that characterize air masses What is moisture content and temperature? An air mass that forms over land What is continental? Winds found between 90º and 60º latitude What is polar easterlies? Winds found at 30º latitude What is horse latitudes? Winds found at the equator What is the doldrums? Prevailing winds of the United States What are westerlies? Winds that are found between 0º & 30º latitude What are the trade winds? An instrument used to measure temperature What is a thermometer? Sensitive instruments used to measure atmospheric pressure What are barometers? A measurement of the amount of water in the air compared to the amount it could hold at a given temperature What is the relative humidity? An instrument which measures wind speed What is a anemometer? The kind of weather that high pressure usually brings What is clear? The amount of water vapor in the air What is humidity? How most water gets into the atmosphere What is evaporates? A prediction of weather over the next 3-5 days What is forecast? The boundary between air masses What is a front? The kind of front that forms when a cold air mass moves underneath a warm air mass What is cold?
