Wind, rain, snow, fog, frost and sunshine are all signs of the constant shifting of the lowest level of the atmosphere. This continual change is what we call the weather. The weather changes in four main ways: its movement, which can bring winds; its temperature, which can cause anything from frost to heat waves; its moisture content, which can bring rain and fog; and its pressure, which can cause anything from cloudy days to fierce storms. A front is the boundary between two air masses. This brings storms as it develops and drifts eastwards. As the depression passes, the warm front is usually ahead of the cold. The cold air then drives sharply towards the warm.

Ответ: 1) sunshine; 2) continual; 3) movement; 4) moisture; 5) pressure; 6) cloudy; 7) boundary; 8) eastwards; 9) usually; 10) sharply.
