What is a high pressure system?

• a weather system that brings fine conditions with little likelihood of rain

• a weather system that moves in a west to east direction across Australia

What is a cold front ?

• a weather system that brings fine conditions with little likelihood of rain

• a weather system that usually moves in a west to east direction across Australia

• a weather system that moves in a east to west direction across Australia

• a weather system that brings extensive rain

The closer together the isobars,

• the stronger the winds.

• the weaker the winds.

• the more rain.

• the higher the temperature.
