What does a barometer measure?

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Air pressure
• Wind speed

As altitude increases, air pressure-

• increases.

• decreases.

• stays the same.

• fluctuates.

What is a cold front?

• front when cold air moves under warm air which is less dense and pushes air up (produces thunderstorms heavy rain or snow)

• The temperature at which condensation begins

• very cold, very dry stable air mass

• A boundary between air masses that don't move possibly causing rain for several days
