Which will most likely result from a low-pressure weather system?

• warm temperatures

• cloudy conditions

• clear conditions

• cool temperatures

Mr. Wise observes

the air pressure daily. Over the last couple of days the air pressure has

been increasing. What weather will Mr. Wise most likely

observe as a result?

• increasingly clear skies and dry

  weather

• increasingly clear skies and more

  wind

• increasingly cloudy skies and dry weather

Which statement best describes how weather patterns along the equator differ from weather patterns further from the equator (mid latitudes)?

• Temperatures in the mid latitudes (temperate) change with the seasons, while temperatures along the equator are consistently warm.

Which best

describes why wind movement is predictable?
