A wind sock is used to determine _____

• air pressure

• humidity

• wind direction

• wind speed

Based on the weather map of the United States, which statement best describes the effects of the weather on the warbler migration to the taiga forests?

• The high-pressure areas will bring rains to prevent migration because birds are unable to fly in rain.

• The low-pressure areas will speed up migration because there is great wind movement to help birds with flying.

• The areas behind the cold front will slow migration down because there is little movement of the atmosphere to help birds with flying.

• The cold front will delay the migration because the temperatures are below the birds’ temperature range, which stops birds from flying through the area.
