Conoce los cuatro diferentes tipos de frentes, cómo se forman, cómo afectan
el clima y cómo se representan en un mapa meteorológico.
Ser capaz de describir el "ciclo vital" de una tormenta severa.
Conocer algunos instrumentos de métodos/tiempo de predicción
meteorológica (pluviómetro, psicrómetro, higrómetro, barómetro,
anemómetro, veleta).
