| Atmosphere | Is a mixtures of gases that surround earth. |
| Air pressure | The measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface. |
| Wind | The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure. |
| Global winds | The combination of convection cells found at every 30 degrees of latitude and the Coriolis effect produces patterns of air circulation. |

| Air over the land is warmer. As war, air rises it creates an area of low pressure. | |
| At night air over the ocean is warmer. As the warm air rises, it forms an area of low pressure. | |
| The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to earths rotation. | |
| A large body of air where temperures and moisture Comtent are constant throughout. | |
| Forms over land | |
| Forma over water | |
| Develpos over the tropics | |
| Forms over the polar Regions. | |
| A warm front forms where warm air moves over cold, denser air. | |
| A cold front forms where cold air move under warm air, which is less dense, and pushes the Waimea air up. | |
| Forms when a warm air mass is caught between two colder air masses. | |
| Forms when a cold air mass meets a warm air mass. | |
| A severe storm that develops over tropical oceans and whose strong winds of more than 120km/h spiral in toward the intensely low pressure storm center. | |
| A usually brief heavy storm that consists of rain strong winds lightning and thunder. | |
| A destructive rotations colum of air that had a very highs wind speeds and touched the ground |
