Terms in this set (77)
Air moves from low pressure to False
high pressure, creating wind.
Air pressure increases as you False
move up in the atmosphere.
,Blizzards can be caused by True
storms that move across land or
from storms that move up the
coast over water.
Clouds can absorb and reflect True
sunlight.
The Coriolis Effect has no effect True
on winds at the equator.
Cumulus clouds are puffy False
clouds that form during the
mature stage of a
thunderstorm.
Drought is very uncommon and False
only affects the few people
who live in the drought area.
A dryline is an area of low False
humidity where thunderstorms
cannot form.

, Fog is often found near bodies True
of water that are at different
temperatures than the air
around them.
