 * 1) **What happens when different types of are air masses collide?** When air masses collide it creates clouds.
 * 2) ** What are the boundaries of air mass called? ** The boundaries of air masses are called fronts.
 * 3) ** Define an air mass? How large may an air mass be?**An air mass is a big body of air that has similar properties. It can be as large as the space or shape it is in.
 * 4) **How large can an air mass be?** An air mass can be
 * 5) **If an air mass is humid what does that mean?** **If an air mass is humid it means that it is cold and warm after raining.**
 * 6) **  Describe an air mass which forms over Canada in terms of its temperature and moisture.O ne that forms over the Indian ocean is called a maritime tropical air mass .  ** The air masses that form of Canada are cold and bring cold weather. The air masses that form over the Indian ocean are warm and humid and brings precipitation.
 * 7) **Describe an air mass that forms over water in Gulf of Mexico in terms of its temperature and moisture.** .The air masses that form over the Gulf of Mexico are warm,moist, and humid.
 * 8) **In the area of the Unites states, which way do cold air masses move?** **(North or South)** The direction a cold air mass moves is north.
 * 9) **In the area of the Unites states which way do warm air masses move?**Warm air masses move to the south.
 * 10) **Why are Canadian air masses considered to be dry air masses?** Canadian air masses are considered dry because Canada is cold and cold air is dry.
 * 11) **What happens when a warm humid air mass meat a cold dry air mass?** When humid warm masses meat cold dry masses it makes a Columbus cloud.
 * 12) **Why can cold air masses from Canada make it all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico?** The air masses from Canada can't be in Mexico because air masses that are in cold climates stay there and the same thing happens for warm.
 * 13) **What is a front?**A front is the boundaries between air masses.
 * 14) ** What typically happens when two different types of fronts collide? ** The fronts create clouds when they collide and are different types.
 * 15) ** What are the three types of fonts? ** There are cold fronts, warm fronts, and stationary fronts.
 * 16) ** Describe the temperature of the air behind a cold front. **The air behind a cold front is denser than the air behind a warm front.
 * 1) ** Looking at the diagram above, which state has a temperature of 38F? ** The state that is 38F is South Dakota
 * 2) ** Looking at the diagram above, which state has a temperature of 55F? ** The state that is 55F is Indiana.
 * 3) ** Looking at the diagram above, what would you expect the temperature of Illinois to be in three days? EXPLAIN! ** I would expect it cold because the states that the cold front has come over are all at low/cold temperatures.
 * 4) ** How does the temperature of an area change as a cold front passes? ** The temperature of the areas the cold front has passed through are all at colder temperatures.
 * 5) ** What does precipitation mean? ** Precipitation is water that comes from clouds or the sky.
 * 6) ** What type of precipitation occurs when a cold front passes? ** The type of precipitation that occurs when there is a cold front is storms.
 * 7) ** Describe the type of air behind a warm front? ** The air behind warm fronts are warm/hot and humid.
 * 8) **  In which direction do warm fronts typically move.  **  Warm fronts move toward colder air
 * 9) ** What type of precipitation usually occurs when a warm front passes by? ** The precipitation that occurs last long and goes on for hours.
 * 10) ** Label the two fronts on the diagram below: **The two fonts in the diagram are warm fronts and cold fronts.
 * 1) ** How is cold front diagrammed? ** The cold front is diagrammed as pushing against the warm front.
 * 2) ** How is a warm front diagrammed? ** The warm front is diagrammed as being push out of the way by the cold front.
 * 3) ** What is a stationary front? ** The stationary front is still it doesn't move.
 * 4) ** How is a stationary front diagrammed? ** The stationary front is diagrammed above both of the fronts.
 * 5) ** When warm air contacts cold air, which air mass typically rises above the other? **Warm rises as shown in these two diagrams.
 * 6) ** Which of the following is a diagram of cold front and which is the warm front? ** The first diagram is the warm front and the second is the cold front.
