Complete the table by writing the result of each weather pattern. Choose from the following

⬇️
cold wave, drought, flood, heat wave

1. Thunderstorm remains over an area for many hours. What is the result?

2. Extended period of well-below- normal rainfall. What is the result?

3. Extended period of above-normal temperatures. What is the result?

4. Extended period of below-normal temperatures. What is the result

5. Large pools of extremely cold air develop strong high-pressure systems over polar continental areas. Jet streams move systems. What are the weather patterns?

6. Large, warm, high-pressure system develops, remains over an area, and blocks cooler air masses from entering the area. What are the weather patterns?

7. Sinking air from a strong high-pressure system stops air from rising and condensation from occuring over a long period of time. What are the weather patterns?

8. A thunderstorm unleashes heavy precipitation. What are the weather patterns?
