For Ms. Baugh's Students looking for science answers:

1) The atmosphere is thicker at the bottom of a mountain

2) The air pressure is lower at the top of a mountain

4) Wind is moving air, caused by uneven heating of the earth's surface. It occurs when air moves from a high pressure area into a low pressure area.

5) (see above)

6) (see 4)

7) warm air rises, cold air sinks

8) The gulf stream is a warm current running north through the Atlantic Ocean. It warms the regions it passes, such as England and the rest of the United Kingdom.

9) A see breeze is wind moving from the sea to the land. It occurs as warm air rises off the land and cool air from above the ocean rushes in to fill its place.

10) High pressure is associated with fair weather, clouds and precipitation are associated with low pressure conditions.

11) Hurricanes, blizzards, thunderstorms, drought, tornados... check your science book for descriptions.

12) a front is where to air masses meet

13) When a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, chances are good you're going to see some rain!

For the extra credit, you must let me know who the poet is by writing his name on your poem sheet and taking it out during homework collection tomorrow!
