a storm is approaching
Base your answer on the weather map below, which shows the locations of a high-pressure center (H) and a low-pressure center (L) over a portion of North America. The isolines indicate surface air pressures.
The arrows on which map show the most likely path in which these two pressure centers will move over the next few days?
Which map shows the most likely location of clouds associated with these pressure centers?
Which map best represents the surface wind pattern associated with high-pressure and low-pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere?
An air mass entering Alaska from the northern Pacific Ocean would most likely be labeled on a weather map as
cP
cT
mP
mT

Which city had the lowest relative humidity?
Chicago
Detroit
Buffalo
Utica
Base your answer on the map below, which shows sea-level air pressure, in millibars, for a portion of the eastern coast of North America. Points A, B, C, and D are sea-level locations on Earth's surface.
Which location most likely recorded the highest wind speed?
A
B

Which weather-station model shows an air pressure of 993.4 millibars?
Base your answer on the weather map below. The map shows a low-pressure system and some atmospheric conditions at weather stations A, B, and C.
Which cross section best represents the air masses, air movement, clouds, and precipitation occurring behind and ahead of the warm front located between stations A and B?
Base your answer on the graph below which shows the changes in relative humidity and air temperature during a spring day in Washington, D.C

Base your answer on the weather map below and on your knowledge of Earth science. The weather map shows a typical low-pressure system and associated weather fronts labeled A and B. The L indicates the center of the low-pressure system. A few New York State cities are shown. Symbols cP and mT represent different air masses. The wind direction at Utica and Rochester is shown on the station models.
Which front symbols are drawn correctly, based on the air masses shown?
Which cross section best represents a cold front?
The map below shows air pressures recorded in millibars (mb).

Washington
New York
Boston
Richmond
The arrows in the cross section below represent the general direction of air movement. Which cross section along a straight line between Cincinnati and Boston best represents the weather fronts, clouds, precipitation, and general direction of air movement shown in the map?
