| hurricanes DECREASE in strength because of | the lack of warm, moist air over land |
| an ANEMOMETER measures | wind speed |
| Hurricanes form off the coast of Africa because | the water temp is warm |
| Hurricanes are MOST likely to form | above tropical(warm) oceans |
| on a USA map, thunderstorms are most likely to occur | where a COLD front is approaching |
| temperature changes and cloud formations are | a sign that a front is approaching |
| the energy that causes all weather is | the sun |
| during El Nino | weather changes across the world |
| warm ocean water and rotational movement of clouds mean | a hurricane may be forming |
| if it snows there is | moisture in the air |
| if it is cold and dry but does NOT snow | there is a change in moisture |
| Costa Rica has warm, muggy weather because | it is warm ocean currents |
| study weather symbols | there is a map you must explain |
| stormy weather occurs in | areas of high pressure |
| air pressure: | 1) very important in formation of weather |
| air pressure: | 2) warm air has lower pressure than cool air |
| air pressure: | 3) low pressure = more moisture |
| air pressure: | 4)dense (heavy) air sinks to ground replacing warm air |
| air pressure: | 5)air rising cools, condenses, and forms clouds |
