1. List the 5 kinds of air masses a. cP = b. cA= c. cT= d. mP= e. mT= 2. What happens to an air mass as it moves across the country? 3. An air mass brings the __ and __ of its source region to a new area as it moves 4. What kind of weather will a continental arctic air mass bring if it moves into the region? a. Continental polar? b. Continental tropical? c. Maritime polar? d. Maritime tropical e. Continental Arctic 5. What is a front? 6. How are fronts and air masses different? 7. Explain how the temperature and humidity will be different on either side of a warm front 8. What is the slope of a warm front? a. Cold front? b. Why is a cold front steeper than a warm front c. What type of clouds are associated with a cold front? d. What type of clouds are associated with a warm front? 9. Explain the general difference between the speed of movement of a warm and cold front 10. How do occluded fronts occur 11. What is a stationary front? a. What can happen if a stationary front remains in one region for a while 12. FRONTS ARE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH A MID LATITUDE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM a. What type of fronts are associated with a mid-latitude low 13. ****HIGHS ARE AREAS WHERE AIR MASSES GENERALLY FORM BECAUSE THEY REMAIN IN THE AREA FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THERE IS LITTLE TO NO WIND IN THE CENTER OF THE HIGH. HIGHS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A SINGLE AIR MASS. LOWS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH TWO OR MORE AIR MASSES AND AT LEAST ONE FRONT. A LOW CAN ALSO BE ASSOCIATED WITH TWO FRONTS AND THREE AIR MASSES. LOWS GENERALLY HAVE STRONG WINDS AND PRECIPITATION*****
