Air Masses
Types of Air MassesAir masses can be classified according to temperature and humidity.

Types of FrontsWhat type of weather is brought by each front?

Air Masses
Cyclones and AnticyclonesWhich image is a cyclone and which is an anticyclone? What is the air motion direction of each?

Lake-Effect SnowAs cold, dry air moves across the warmer water, it becomes more humid as water vapor evaporates from the lake surface. When the air reaches land and cools, lake-effect snow falls. Which cities receive lake-effect snow?

Storms
Tornado FormationAbout 1,200 tornadoes occur in the United States every year. Weather patterns on the Great Plains result in a “tornado alley.”

Predicting the Weather
Newspaper Weather MapThe symbols on this map show fronts, high- and low-pressure areas, the high and low temperature readings for different cities, and precipitation. The color bands indicate different temperature ranges.
