An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?
similar temperature |
|
all of these |
|
similar density |
|
similar moisture |
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.
mixes with |
|
cancels out |
|
pushes above |
|
pushes under |
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)
\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
