detailed solutions ||//\\||




What are air masses? - correct answer✔✔large bodies of air, 1000km across or more,
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




several thousand meters thick ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||

What are midlatitude cyclones? - correct answer✔✔An extratropical cyclone (low
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




pressure system) that is the principal weather maker at midlatitudes ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




What is the typical life cycle of a midlatitude cyclone? - correct answer✔✔forms at
