🔍 Key Concepts

• Warm vs. cold air masses and how they affect weather • Typical cloud types associated with stable vs. unstable air • Relationship between stability, visibility, and turbulence in an air mass

💭 Think About

• Think about whether warm air over cooler ground is usually more stable or more unstable. • Ask yourself: does stable air tend to produce lots of turbulence and strong vertical motion, or layered clouds and gentle weather? • Consider what kind of air mass would more likely cause long-lasting drizzle versus brief heavy showers.

✅ Before You Answer

• Decide which options are linked with stable air (layered clouds, smooth flying/sailing, steady light rain, possible haze). • Decide which options are linked with unstable air (cumuliform clouds, turbulence, showers, good visibility). • Match warm air masses with whether they are typically more stable or unstable over cooler surfaces.
