🔍 Key Concepts

• Warm air mass vs. cold air mass characteristics • How temperature affects air’s ability to hold moisture and vertical motion • Relationship between stability/instability and cloud development

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to air that is warmer than the surface it is over—does it tend to rise easily or resist vertical motion? • Which type of air mass is more likely to produce widespread stratus clouds and steady conditions, and which favors showery, convective weather? • How does a warm air mass typically affect visibility at sea—does more moisture in the air usually improve or reduce it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Decide whether warm air over a colder surface is usually more stable or unstable. • Recall which condition (stability or instability) is associated with towering cumulus and thunderstorms versus layered clouds and steady weather. • Before choosing, match each option to a known warm-air-mass effect: visibility, wind behavior, and vertical motion (stability/instability).
