Chapter 11

the condition of the atmosphere at any given moment in a particular area

air temperature,air pressure,and humidity all determine

the pulling of cool air from the water that replces the rising warmer air over the land creates a local wind called a

the movement of air from land to water creates a local wind called a

are caused by unequal heating of the earth

the curve of winds due to Earth's rotation

the doldrums and horse latitudes

where the weather is greatly affected

is a very large collection of air that has uniform temperature, humidity, and air pressure

the boundary where air masses meet

bodies of air that have different tempatures also have different

faster moving warm air collides with a body of cold air and causes the warm air to rise above the cold air

an advancing cold air mass collides with slow-moving warm air and causes the cold air to sink under the warm air

what are lines that that show areas with similar air pressure

a wind that changes direction with the change of seasons and which usally brings heavy rain fall

are classified by their temperature and humidity
