A distinct layer in a body of water where the temperature changes rapidly with depth, separating warmer surface water from...

A weather front where two air masses meet but neither is strong enough to move the other, often resulting in prolonged periods...

A strong, downward wind caused by a localized column of air sinking rapidly, often resulting in damage similar to that caused...
