🗑
Michigan and its surroundings is a system. When creating a weather model the components scientists should use are   show
🗑
show air masses interacting that might cause storms, elevation changes that could impact precipitation, and large bodies of water impact.  
🗑
If a weather model of Michigan was created, what application would you expect the model to be used for   show
🗑
show clouds and possibly precipitation.  
🗑
Explain the process that occurs when two air masses interact   show
🗑
show wind speed, temperature, wind direction, air pressure, humidity, rain/snow amounts.  
🗑
show because there are many things that can affect the weather, the atmosphere can change making it difficult to get any kind of guarantee when it comes to predicting the weather.  
🗑
show the air masses temperature lowers, the higher the elevation the lower the temperature of the air mass.
