Weather and Fronts

What type of weather is usually found in a low pressure system?

• Sunny and clear skies

• Cloudy skies and precipitation

• Dry and hot conditions

• Strong winds and thunderstorms

How does a warm front affect temperature?

• A warm front generally leads to a decrease in temperature as warm air replaces cooler air.

• A warm front has no effect on temperature.

• A warm front generally leads to an increase in temperature as warm air replaces cooler air.

• A warm front causes temperature to fluctuate unpredictably.

What is the role of air pressure in weather systems?

• Air pressure has no effect on weather patterns.

• High pressure generally leads to storms and precipitation.

• High pressure generally leads to clear skies, while low pressure can lead to storms and precipitation.

• Low pressure is always associated with clear skies.

What does the symbol for a cold front look like on a weather map?

• A red line with semicircles pointing in the direction of the front.

• A blue line with triangles pointing in the direction of the front.

• A green dashed line with arrows pointing in both directions.

• A yellow line with squares pointing in the direction of the front.

What type of front leads to steady rain for several days?

• A cold front

• A warm front

• A stationary front

• An occluded front

What weather conditions are expected after a warm front passes?

• Cold and dry weather

• Warm and humid weather

• Cool and windy weather

• Stormy and rainy weather

What is a warm front?

• A boundary between a warm air mass and a cold air mass, where the warm air rises over the cold air, often leading to gradual increases in temperature and precipitation.

• A type of front where cold air pushes under warm air, causing thunderstorms.

• A weather phenomenon characterized by sudden drops in temperature and heavy snowfall.

• A transition zone where two air masses of similar temperatures meet, resulting in stable weather.

What type of weather is typically associated with a cold front?

• Sunny and clear skies

• Mild temperatures with light rain

• Sudden drops in temperature, thunderstorms, and heavy rain

• Warm and humid conditions

What does a stationary front indicate?

• A boundary between two air masses that are not moving, leading to prolonged periods of cloudy and rainy weather.

• A transition zone where warm air rises over cold air, resulting in thunderstorms.

• A region where two cold air masses collide, causing heavy snowfall.

• An area of high pressure that leads to clear skies and dry weather.

What type of weather is associated with high pressure systems?

• Rainy and stormy weather

• Sunny and clear weather

• Cloudy and overcast weather

• Humid and foggy weather
