Cloud droplets combine and become large enough to fall back to Earth's surface

Warm air masses that form in the equatorial regions

The cumulus state, mature stage and dissipation stage.

This can be used to determine the typical conditions of a region at a certain time of year.

This is a localized climate that is different from the climate in the area surrounding it

The force that a column of air applies on the air or surface below it

The boundary between two air masses with different characteristics; can sometimes cause dramatic weather changes when they collide.

Electricity that is discharged inside a cloud, between clouds or sometimes from a cloud to the ground.

Locations near this latitude tend to have warmer climates year-round.

The world's climates are divided up based on these factors.

The amount of water vapor in the air right now compared to how much it can hold at this temperature

Narrow bands of high winds that push air masses around and move weather systems.

The presence of this is why 60% of tornadoes in Florida occur between June through September.

These influence climate because they are barriers to wind and can lead to rain shadows.

This climate is warm year-round and experiences high precipitation rates.

Air temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, relative humidity, dew point, clouds/fog and precipitation

A large body of sinking, cool, circulating air with high pressure at the center and lower pressure outside of the system.

This type of severe storm never forms over land and are fueled by warm water.

This feature of water causes climates along coastlines to remain more constant than those in the middle of a continent.

This climate experiences warm summers, cold winters and moderate precipitation.

The temperature at which air is saturated, condensation occurs and dew forms.

These transport warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and take cold water from the poles back to the tropics.

This method is used to classify tornadoes; it is based on the damage they cause and is abbreviated by "EF"

The amount of solar energy per unit of Earth's surface area depends on this.

This is one of the most important oceanic currents in the world and is responsible for warming any air that is near or above it.
