- Advancing warm air mass displaces a cold air mass and glides over the top of it
- warm front
- A warm air mass is squeezed upward between two cold air masses
- occluded front
- Measures relative
- hygrometer
- Measures temperature
- theremomter
- Measures wind speed
- anemometer
- Measures air pressure
- barometer
- Measures height of cloud layers/estimates percentage of sky covered by clouds
- ceilometer
- ___________ thunderstorm forms because of unequal heating of earth's surface within one air mass
- air mass
- What are associated with very severe thunderstorms called supercells
- tornadoes
- A mound of water driven toward coastal areas by hurricane winds are called
- storm surge
- Forms when an air mass rises as a result of orographic lifting
- mountain thunderstorm
- Up and down drafts that characterize severe thunderstroms are the result of
- unstable air, differences in temperature of the upper and lower parts of the storm
- Third stage in the development of a hurricane
- tropical storm
- What time of the day do air mass thunderstorm reach their maximum
- early evening
- What stage of a thunderstorm formation does air move mostly downward
- dissipation
- What part of a hurricane has the strongest winds
- eye wall
- Hail forms in part because of the presence of
- super cold water droplets
- What is the second stage of lighting
- return stroke
- Storm surge, what type of weather is occurring and where are you.
- Hurricane in coastal Florida
- At an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary
- old crust is recycled by subduction
- Many early mapmakers thought Earth's continents had moved based on
- Matching coastlines
- The magnetic pattern of ocean-floor rocks on one side of an ocean ridge is
- a mirror image of that of the other side
- Continental-continental plate collisions produce
- very tall mountain ranges
- __________ is a process that occurs at convergent boundaries
- slab pull
- A narrow elongated depression in the seafloor
- deep-sea trench
- What phenomenon occurs along a transform boundary
- earthquake
- Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example of a
- divergent boundary
- Subduction results in the formation of
- deep-sea trench
