There is usually stormy weather at a weather front. A cold front is where cold air meets warm air. The cold air will move under the warm air forcing the warmer air to rise quickly. Because the warm air can rise quickly, cold fronts can cause cumulonimbus clouds to form with heavy rain and thunderstorms. A warm front is where warm air meets cold air. In this case the warm air will rise slowly over the top of the cold air. Warm fronts can cause long periods of light rain and drizzle. Sometimes a cold front can catch up to a warm front. When this happens it creates an occluded front. Occluded fronts can generate heavy rain and thunderstorms.

 • Air pressure is the force exerted onto a surface by the weight of air. 
• The atmosphere is the layer of air that surrounds the earth. 
• Condensation is the changing of gas back to a liquid.
 • The equator is the imaginary line drawn around the middle of the earth.
 • Evaporation is when a liquid changes back into a gas (water to water vapor).
 • The jet stream is a narrow band of air that flows from west to east around the earth at relatively high speeds. 
• A high-pressure system is a whirling mass of cool, dry air that generally brings fair weather and light winds.
 • Humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air. 
• A low-pressure system is a whirling mass of warm, moist air that generally brings stormy weather with strong winds. 
• Precipitation is any liquid or solid form of water that falls from the atmosphere: rain, snow, hail, or sleet. 
• Prevailing winds are global winds that blow constantly from the same direction. 
• Seasons are periods of time during the year marked by specific weather patterns and daylight hours, resulting from the earth's changing position with regard to the sun. 
• The troposphere is the lower layer of the atmosphere. All weather occurs in the troposphere.
• Water vapor is created when liquid water turns into a gas form due to heat.
• Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place with respect to wind, temperature, cloudiness, moisture, pressure, and other factors.
 • Wind is the movement of air caused by earth’s uneven heating of the land surfaces. Wind moves from high pressure to low pressure. ]]> 2021-02-16 00:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/arh3962/v1bgltud8mfg7ehn/wish/1205151475 Resources: arh3962 https://padlet.com/arh3962/v1bgltud8mfg7ehn/wish/1205198020 1.
