CATEGORY 1 - $100 Warm molecules do this due to density differences

CATEGORY 1 - $200 Cold currents come from this location on Earth

CATEGORY 1 - $300 Warm air comes from this location on Earth

CATEGORY 1 - $400 The flow of air creating wind is caused by this

CATEGORY 1 - $500 Transfer of heat in a fluid by the movement of molecules due to density differences

CATEGORY 2 - $100 Rapidly pushes a warm air mass up, bringing high winds, lower temperatures and can form thunderstorms

CATEGORY 2 - $200 This is my symbol on a weather map:

CATEGORY 2 - $300 Occurs when air masses don’t move, temperatures don’t change and precipitation can last for days

CATEGORY 2 - $400 Replaces cold air, winds are gentle and warm

CATEGORY 4 - $300 The ultimate source of energy on Earth

CATEGORY 4 - $400 Why the grass is cooler than the sidewalk on a hot summer day

CATEGORY 4 - $500 The interaction of the air, water and the Sun

CATEGORY 5 - $100 High pressure brings this type of weather

CATEGORY 5 - $200 Responsible for the movement of much of the weather across the US and Canada
