What will happen when the relative humidity of an air mass reaches 100%?
The relative humidity will stay at 100%.
The relative humidity will continue to increase.
Precipitation is likely to occur, decreasing the relative humidity.
Which type of data confirms that one air mass is being replaced by another air mass in a particular area?
high wind speed
high air pressure
high temperature
Four towns are each located at similar latitudes. Which town will have the least difference between the average high temperature and average low temperature?
a town in a desert
a town near the ocean
a town high in the mountains
A meteorologist predicts that a warm air mass and a cold air mass will meet and stop moving over your vacation destination. What weather should you expect and how will this impact your plans?
An occluded front that will cause clouds and precipitation means packing rain gear and trying to avoid the precipitation.
A cold front that will bring quick rain, snow, or hail means packing rain gear but hoping not to need it after the front passes.
A stationary front that will cause an extended period of clouds or precipitation means packing rain gear and planning for precipitation during your trip.
Stay home and study science, no vacations allowed :)
What does this image tell you?
cold air holds more water vapor than warm air
as the temperature increases so does the capacity of the air
temperature increase causes cold air
What is the air pressure at sea level?
31.29 in
29.92 in
35.21 in
As the cold front over California moves east, the isobars between it and the stationary front move closer together. What will happen as a result?
The wind speed is faster.
The wind speed is slower.
A meteorologist announced that the southwest United States should expect snowstorms in the future.
Given the current weather conditions on the map, which data is most likely to support a prediction of snow for the Southwest.
RH= humidity 0 F = temperature
5% RH, 80 °F
10% RH, 15 °F
60% RH, 20 °F
70% RH, 65 °F
Explain how the weather at these three locations is likely to differ
"A" & "B" will be more similar since they are on the coast and "C" is on the leeward or drier side of the mountain.
"A" & "C" will be more similar since they are on the coast and "B" is on the leeward or drier side of the mountain.
They will all have the same weather.
C is inland and will be colder than A and B that are on the coastline and will be warmer from the prevailng winds.
