Humidity
a) a warm air mass slides over the top of a cold air mass, causing light showers.
b) a cold air mass invades a warm air mass, causing the warm air to rise at a steep incline.
c) a device for measuring the relative humidity of the air that is spun around before it is read.
d) the amount of water vapor in the air.

sea breeze
a) the atmospheric pressure is higher/lower than that of the surrounding area.
b) at night, the land cools faster than the water, so the cool air from the land blows toward the ocean.
c) during the day, the land heats faster than the water. The warm air rises and the cold ocean air flows in to replace it.
d) the amount of water vapor in the air.

high/low pressure
a) the atmospheric pressure is higher/lower than that of the surrounding area.
b) the apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth's rotation
c) large scale movements of air caused by a flow from high to low pressure (wind)
d) large scale water movements caused by wind, density differences and temperature differences

land breeze
a) during the day, the land heats faster than the water. The warm air rises and the cold ocean air flows in to replace it.
b) at night, the land cools faster than the water, so the cool air from the land blows toward the ocean.

d) large scale water movements caused by wind, density differences and temperature differences

air currents
a) the atmospheric pressure is higher/lower than that of the surrounding area.
b) at night, the land cools faster than the water, so the cool air from the land blows toward the ocean.
c) during the day, the land heats faster than the water. The warm air rises and the cold ocean air flows in to replace it.
d) large scale movements of air caused by a flow from high to low pressure (wind)

Coriolis Effect
a) mass per unit of volume of a material
