the maximum amount of water it could.

High and Low Pressure Areas
• High pressure
causes air to sink
• Usually results in
several days of clear
sunny skies
• Air rises in low
pressure areas and
forms water
droplets
• Usually results in
rain and storms
Air Masses

1. Continental Polar air masses
2. Maritime Tropical air masses
Fronts
A front is the boundary separating air masses
of different densities
 Fronts extend both vertically and
horizontally in the atmosphere
