Tim said that Chicago is most likely to experience rainy weather. Jennifer thinks that Dallas is most likely to experience rainy weather.
Which student is correct?
Tim because Chicago is the closest to a low pressure system and they produce precipitation.
Jennifer because high pressure systems produce precipitation
Both students are correct because all systems produce precipitation
Neither of the students are correct because the cities are not close enough to the system.

Why does city "B" have clear skies?
It is in North America
There is not a front moving through city "B"
Clouds do not form in the West
It is located near a high pressure system
In which direction is the cold front moving?
South
North
West
East
Should the "?" be replaced with an "H" or an "L"?
"L" because the fronts near this location do not create precipitation and low pressure systems bring precipitation.
"L" because the fronts near the location produce precipitation and low pressure systems bring precipitation
"H" because the fronts near this location create precipitation and high pressure systems bring precipitation.
"H" because the fronts near this location create precipitation and high pressure systems do not bring precipitation.
