Weather
is the result of heat and Earth's air and water
Climate
is what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area.
Greenhouse effect
Air flow carries this trapped heat from one place to another and creates weather
Warm front
because cold fronts move along much faster than warm fronts do
Cold front
when warm and cold air meet
Stationary front
is the boundary between two different air masses with different densities when neither is advancing
Occluded front
form when a cold front catches up to a warm front because cold fronts move along much faster than warm fronts do
Precipitation
where they meet
convection currents
is a current (movement) in a fluid that results from a source of heat
pollutants
(example CFCs) and burning of coal cause acid rain
nonpoint source pollutant
Nonpoint source pollution is a term used to describe pollution resulting from many diffuse sources, in direct contrast to point source pollution which results from a single source
point source pollutant
defines point source pollution as "any single identifiable source of pollution from which pollutants are discharged, such as a pipe, ditch, ship or factory smokestack" (Hill, 1997)
