Every physical process of weather is accompanied by or is the result of..... -a heat exchange -the movement of air -a pressure differential - ANSWER--a heat exchange
Moisture is added to a parcel of air by..... -Sublimation and condensation -Evaporation and condensation -Evaporation and sublimation - ANSWER--Evaporation and sublimation
With regards to windflow patterns show on surface analysis charts; when the isobars are..... Close together, the pressure gradient force is slight and wind velocities are weaker -Not close together, the pressure gradient force is greater and wind velocities are stronger. -Close together, the pressure gradient force is greater and wind velocities are stronger. - ANSWER--Close
together, the pressure gradient force is greater and wind velocities are stronger.
What causes wind? -The earth's rotation -Air mass modification -Pressure differences - ANSWER--Pressure differences
Which is true regarding cold front occlusion? The air ahead of the warm front.... -Is colder than the air behind the overtaking cold front. -Is warmer than the air behind the overtaking cold front. -Has the same temperature as the air behind the overtaking cold front. - ANSWER--Is warmer than the air behind the overtaking cold front. Which is true with respect to a high-or-low pressure system? -A high-pressure area or ridge is an area of rising air. -A high-pressure area or trough is an area descending air. -A high-pressure area or ridge is an area of descending air. - ANSWER--A high-pressure area or ridge is an
area of descending air.
What prevents air from flowing directly from high-pressure are to low-pressure areas? -Coriolis Force -Surface friction -Pressure gradient force - ANSWER--Coriolis Force
