High Pressure Systems- A weather system characterized by sinking air and higher pressure at the surface. It is usually associated with fair weather.
Low Pressure System- A weather system characterized by rising air and lower pressure at the surface. It is usually associated with clouds, precipitation, and unsettled weather.
Air Mass- A large body of air with uniform temperature and humidity characteristics.
Front- A boundary between two air masses with different temperatures, humidity levels, and densities. It often brings changes in weather conditions.
