 * 1) What happens when different types of are air masses collide? //**One goes up the other one stay down.**//
 * 2)  What are the boundaries of air mass called?
 * 1) Define an air mass? //**A air mass is a large body of air that has similar temperature and moisture properties throughout.**//
 * 2) How large may an air mass be?
 * 3) What does the term moist mean. //**The word moist means slightly wet or damp and humid.**//
 * 4) If an air mass is humid what does that mean?
 * 5) Describe an air mass which forms over Canada in terms of its temperature and moisture.
 * 6) Describe an air mass that forms over a desert in terms of its temperature and moisture.
 * 7) Describe an air mass that forms over water in Gulf of Mexico in terms of its temperature and moisture.
 * 8) In the area of the Unites states, which way do cold air masses move? (North or South)
 * 9) In the area of the Unites states which way do warm air masses move?
 * 10) Why are Canadian air masses considered to be dry air masses?
 * 11) What happens when a warm humid air mass meat a cold dry air mass? //**When a warm humid air mass meats a cold dry air mass the cold air mass forces the warm air mass to go up.**//
 * 12) Why can cold air masses from Canada make it all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico?//**These condition usually result from the invasion of cold arctic air masses that originate from the snow covered regions of northern Canada.**//
 * 13) What is a front? //**A front is the boundaries between air masses.**//
 * 14) What typically happens when two different types of fronts collide? //**One front forces the other front to go up while the other front is still going the same way.**//
 * 15) What are the three types of fonts? //**The four types of fronts are cold, warm, o**// //** ccluded, and stationary. **//
 * 16) Describe the temperature of the air behind a cold front? //** Interactions along the edge of this front often results in showers and storms developing, as the warmer air is pushed upward by the advancing colder air. **//

 * 4) How does the temperature of an area change as a cold front passes?
 * 5) What does precipitation mean?
 * 6) What type of precipitation occurs when a cold front passes?

 * 4) In which direction is the front over North Carolina traveling?
 * 1) How is the warm front diagrammed?
 * 2) In which direction is the warm front traveling?
 * 3) What do you call the front that is over the middle of Canada?

 * 1) If it is snowing in Great Neck, what type of air mass must be present?
 * 2)  If its very hot in October in Great Neck, what type of air mass must be present?
 * 3) Assuming a warm front is moving into the area, there is a stagnant (non-moving) cold air mass around Great Neck, what type of precipitation might we expect? How long might it last?
