2,1
What type of air mass wouldform over the North Atlantic
Ocean?What would its temp. and humidity be like?
Maritime Polar/Cool and humid
2,3
Name 4 types of information that weather satellites collect?
Temp, clouds, storms, barometric pressure
2,4
What are the 2 main factors that influence climate?Name two factors that
affect Boston
Precipitation and temperature, nearness to large body of water, ocean currents
3,2

forecasts.
Balloons, satellites, computers, weather station models
3,4
Name climate regionthat is most likely

masses X and Y.Name one safety precaution thatshould be taken to avoid possible
injury from this tornado?

Name the four types of frontsWhat type of front(s) would be
responsible for several daysof rain and clouds?
Cold/Warm/StationaryOccluded..stationary
