  • Name 2 factors that weather depends on.
    Temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind...
  • Describe the particles in a high pressure and low pressure system.
    Cool air masses have high pressure -> Particles close to each other. Warm air masses have low pressure -> Particles far away from each other.
  • What happens in a cold front?
    Colder air mass moves towards warmer air mass.

  • Name the front: When a fast-moving cold front catches up with a slow-moving warm front.
    Occluded
  • Describe the weather in a low pressure systems.
    Cloudy weather and precipitation.
  • A high-pressure system rises or sinks?
    Sinks
  • In occluded fronts, the warm air moves faster than the cold air. True or false?
