- A front is when 2 air masses collide
- A anemometer measures the speed of wind
- The reasons climates differ is because of the way the sun reaches them
- Summer in Barrow, Alaska is an average 45 degrees, and at night it is -20 degrees, and the tempature is below freezing about 320 days of the year
- Summer in Acapulco, Mexico is an average of 90, and nights are 70, and there have never been freezing tempatures recorded there
- 70% of earth is sea water
- In the morning warm air comes up from the ground and moves over the water, and cool air from the water moves over to the land
- In the evening cool air moves over the water and the warm air moves back to the land
- If polar bears run too long they get too hot
- Every few years the wind patterns change. It's called El Nino
