| What does Maritime mean? | It means that it formed over water |
| What does Continental mean? | It means that it formed on land |
| Why is there no mA air mass? | The water is too cold so the water turns to ice |

| What is a wind vane and what does it do? | It is used for showing the direction of the wind |
| What is a psychometer and what does it do? | It is a wet and dry bulb thermometer on a stick to show the relative humidity of the air |
| What is a anemometer and what does it do? | It is a device that measures wind speed and direction using cups on a stick |
| What happens in a low pressure area? | The moist air rises and cools in a anit-clockwise direction and clouds form |
