What is the purpose of a barometer?
Tells you that it is going to rain.
Measures the amount of wind.
Measusres the amount of clouds in the sky.
It measure the amount of pressure in the air.
The weather forecast tomorrow says there will be a 15 mph wind, a high temperature of 52 degrees and a pressure of 720 mb. What three instruments will a meteorologist use to make this prediction?
anemometer, barometer, thermometer
barometer, hygrometer, thermometer
thermometer, satellite image, hygrometer
anemometer, satellite image, barometer
In a high pressure systems
there are few clouds because the air in moving downward
there are many clouds because the air is very humid
there are few clouds because the air is moving outward
there are many clouds because the air is moving upward
A front is
where warm air is cooling at earth's surface
a boundary where hot and cold air are separating
a boundary where two different air masses meet
where cold air is rising and forming rain clouds
