Predicting Weather

What does cloudy skies indicate in terms of pressure?

• High pressure

• Stable pressure

• Low pressure

• Variable pressure

What is the difference between weather and climate?

• Weather refers to long-term average weather patterns, while climate refers to short-term atmospheric conditions.

• Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate refers to long-term average weather patterns in a region.

• Weather and climate are the same and can be used interchangeably.

• Weather refers to the average temperature of a region, while climate refers to daily temperature fluctuations.

What is continental polar (cP) air mass?

• A type of air mass that forms over oceans and is characterized by warm and moist conditions.

• An air mass that forms over land and near the poles, characterized by cold and dry conditions.

• A weather phenomenon that occurs only in tropical regions.

• An air mass that is formed by the mixing of warm and cold air masses.

What does clear skies indicate in terms of pressure?

• Low pressure

• High pressure

• Variable pressure

• No pressure

What is the role of moisture in weather prediction?

• Moisture in the air can lead to cloud formation and precipitation, influencing weather patterns.

• Moisture has no effect on weather prediction.

• Moisture only affects temperature, not weather patterns.

• Moisture is irrelevant to cloud formation.

What is a weather front?

• A weather front is a boundary between two different air masses, which can lead to changes in weather.

• A weather front is a type of storm that occurs in tropical regions.

• A weather front is a measurement of temperature changes in the atmosphere.

• A weather front is a phenomenon that only occurs during winter months.

What is the importance of weather forecasting?

• It helps predict atmospheric conditions, allowing people to prepare for various weather events.

• It provides entertainment through weather-related shows.

• It is used to determine the best time for planting crops.

• It has no significant impact on daily life.

What is low pressure in weather terms?

• An area where air is rising and moist, leading to cloudy skies and potential precipitation.

• A region with high temperatures and clear skies.

• A zone characterized by strong winds and dry conditions.

• An area where air is sinking and creating high pressure.

What is the significance of high pressure in weather?

• High pressure is associated with clear skies and stable weather conditions.

• High pressure leads to increased precipitation and storms.

• High pressure causes temperature fluctuations and unstable weather.

• High pressure is linked to cloudy skies and humid conditions.

How does temperature affect air pressure?

• As temperature increases, air pressure typically decreases because warm air is less dense than cold air.

• As temperature increases, air pressure increases because warm air is denser than cold air.

• Temperature has no effect on air pressure at all.

• Air pressure decreases as temperature decreases because cold air is less dense than warm air.
