Which type of pressure is associated with clear & sunny skies?
What type of front creates many days of cloudy, wet weather?
What type of weather will a warm front produce?
During a sea breeze, cool dense air over the land replaces warm rising air over the sea.

What gas makes up 21 percent of our atmosphere?
What layer contains weather?
Which two layers have a decreasing temperature with altitude?
Would you expect a bucket of sand or a bucket of water to heat faster?
As the level of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere increases, our global temperature increases.
To model how Earth heats unevenly, I use a globe and flashlight. What do you I need to do to ensure my model demonstrates the Coriolis effect?
Why do winds blow from the ocean towards the shore during the day?
What air mass brings warm, humid air to Georgia?
If humidity is at 100%, then it is probably raining.
What is humidity?
Why do coastal areas have more thunderstorms?
As altitude in the atmosphere increases, pressure increases.
Wind moves from low to high pressure.
What causes wind?
A thunderstorm needs warm, humid air to rise to create clouds. What else does a thunderstorm need?
