Study Notes
- Probability of precipitation is the likelihood of rain at any point in the area on a given day.
- Weather depends on heat from the sun and water.
- Air masses flow from high pressure to low pressure, causing weather to change over time.
- Sudden changes in weather can result when different air masses collide.
- Pressure is measured with a barometer, and a rising barometer indicates high pressure.
- Air masses bring different types of weather depending on their source.
- Meteorologists identify air masses by the regions from which they originate: polar, tropical, continental, or maritime.
- Fronts are boundaries between air masses that give information to predict temperature, humidity, and air pressure.
- Cold fronts form where a cold air mass moves under a warm air mass, causing rapid precipitation and thunderstorms.
- Warm fronts form where a warm air mass moves up and over a cold air mass, bringing layered stratus clouds and increasing air pressure and temperature when the front passes.

Description
"Test your knowledge of weather patterns and meteorology with our quiz on air masses, fronts, and weather change. Learn about the impact of pressure, heat, and water on the likelihood of precipitation, and how different air masses bring varying types of weather depending on their source. Explore the science behind cold and warm fronts, and how they can cause sudden changes in weather. Challenge yourself to identify air masses and predict temperature, humidity, and air pressure based on front boundaries. Take our quiz and become a
