| Front | The place where two air masses of different temperatures and pressures meet.
🗑

||||
| High Pressure | An area of higher air pressure that is typically associated with clear weather.
🗑
|
||||
| Low Pressure | An area of lower air pressure that is typically associated with wet or cloudy weather.
🗑
|
||||
| Air Mass | A large body of air that has approximately the same temperature and humidity.
🗑
|
||||
| Convection | The movement of energy through a moving liquid or gas.
🗑
|
||||
| Weather | A pattern of precipitation, wind, etc. that covers a small area for a short amount of time.
🗑
|
||||
| Climate | A pattern of temperature and precipitation that remains for a long period of time.
🗑

||||
| Ocean Current | The flow of water within the ocean that moves in a regular pattern.
🗑

||||
| El Niño | A periodic change in the location of warm and cool surface waters in the Pacific Ocean.

| Atmosphere | Air surrounding the Earth.
🗑
|
||||
| Hydrosphere | Solid, liquid, and gas forms of water on Earth.
🗑
|
||||
| Cold Front | Fast moving cold air mass colliding with slow moving warm air mass. Cold air will push out warm air.
🗑
|
||||
| Warm Front | Slow moving warm air mass moves over cold air mass. Warm air mass stays behind after cold air mass leaves.
🗑
|
||||
| Stationary Front | Weak cold and weak warm front come together and neither moves.
