cooled below its dew point by conduction from cold sea surface. (T)
(3) TRS usually cross the land and if they do so, they tend to fill up.(F)

apparent direction and speed. (T)
(5) Source region of air mass is a place where a front is originally formed. (F)
(6) Squall is sudden increased of wind force by at least three stages of Beaufort scale
upward. (T)
(7) TRS usually not form in latitudes more than 5° (F)
(8) The wind of 360 T is called when wind blows towards north. (F)
(9) Radiation fog occurs over the sea at night. (F)

(1) The wedge shaped extension of high pressure which lies between two depressions is
called ----------------. (ridge)
(2) The wind blows due to ------------------ (pressure gradient force)
 (3) -----------------is sudden increased of wind force by at least three stages of Beaufort
scale upward. (Squall)
(4) The air which has warm and moist condition is called --------------------air. (tropical
maritime)
(5) --------------------is sudden increased of wind speed for short period of time caused
by the terrestrial obstruction to the flow of the wind. (Gust)
(6) Each -------------------has different characteristics to other air mass and they will not
mix one another. (air mass)
(7) Two anti-cyclonic systems and two cyclonic systems are dramatically opposed,
there is an area in the center of four systems which cannot be considered as a high
pressure or low pressure. This area is known as ---------------. (Col)
(8) ------------------ is V shape extension or elongated extension from low or depression.
(trough)
(9) The furthest west longitude reached by the storm center when recurving take places is
called --------------------. (COD)
(10) The boundary of two air masses is generally well defined and above the ground is
known as --------------------. (frontal surface)

(8) ----------------front is a transition zone on the earth’s surface where cold air replaces warm
air for a stationary observer. (a)
