Which statement correctly describes the types of weather in low pressure and high pressure areas?

High pressure areas mostly have clear skies, while low pressure areas mostly have clouds and precipitation.

Both high and low pressure areas mostly have clouds and precipitation

Bow high and low areas mostly have clear skies

High pressure area have clouds and precipitation, while low pressure areas mostly have clear skies

Look at the map below, which forecast is supported by the information shown?

The lines represent isobars which measure air pressure. High numbers represent high pressure areas while low numbers represent low pressure areas. Since weather moves west to east the isobars show a low pressure area moving towards the Eastern United States which will bring cloudy weather and possible rain

The lines marked are called isotherms and they show the temperature. Since the numbers increase across the map from West to East, it would mean that the temperature would increase in the next couple of days in the Eastern United States.

The lines represent wind speeds which can be used to determine the direction air masses are moving. Since the numbers decrease on the right side of the map there should be less wind on the east coast of the United States.

The lines represent boundaries of air masses and can be used to locate weather fronts. Since the number 30 represents a cold front and the numbers to the west of it are smaller, this would mean a warm front is moving to the Eastern United States.

What weather data would most likely predict precipitation?

dew point 60, air pressure falling, temperature 62

dew point 90 , air pressure rising, temperature 99

dew point 86, air pressure falling, temperature 70

dew point 75, air pressure rising, temperature 88

Which statement below correctly explains how a hurricane is created?

Warm humid air rises. This creates a low pressure area over the ocean. Nearby cooler air spirals towards the center. Warm humid air continues to fuel the storm. The lower the air pressure is at the center, the stronger the winds blow, and the hurricane grows larger.

Cool humid air rises. This creates a high pressure area over the ocean. Warmer air is pushed away from the center. This continues to fuel the storm. The Higher the air pressure is at the center, the stronger the winds blow, and the hurricane grows larger.

Warm humid air sinks. This creates a high pressure area over the ocean. Warmer air is pushed away from the center. This continues to fuel the storm. The Higher the air pressure is at the center, the stronger the winds blow, and the hurricane grows larger.

Cooler humid air sinks. This creates a high pressure area over the ocean. Nearby cooler air spirals away the center. Cool air continues to fuel the storm. The higher the air pressure is at the center, the stronger the winds blow, and the hurricane grows larger.

Read the table below, which city should the residents be worried about experiencing frozen water pipes?

Knoxville, because it highest temperature is only 25 degrees

Memphis, because it has the lowest pressure

Nashville, because it has the highest precipitation

Chattanooga, because its temperature is dipping near the freezing point

Examine the weekly forecast shown below. Which day should you predict that snowfall will likely occur?

Friday, because of freezing temperatures

Monday, because of low average wind speeds

Tuesday, because of very high winds

Wednesday, Because of the low temperatures

Thursday, Because of the high temperatures

The chart shows temperature data for three Tennessee cities during the same week. Based on the information in the chart and the map, which statement best explain the variations in temperature for these three locations?

Knoxville has cooler temperatures on average, because it is closest to the Appalachian mountains.

Knoxville has warmer temperatures on average because it is closer to the Atlantic Ocean.

Memphis has warmer temperatures on average, because it has the least precipitation.

Nashville has cooler temperatures on average, because it is on the Cumberland Plateau.

Which statement would correctly support the type of front and weather occurring along the front in the picture below?

Warm Front-Warm air quickly rising over cold air, producing thunderstorms

Cold Front- Cold dry air pushing the warm moist air up quickly, producing Thunderstorms and possible tornado
