WX 201 Exam 3 with correct Answers The contour lines drawn on a 500 mb chart are lines of constant height The unit of pressure most commonly found on a surface weather map is millibars or hectopascals Isobaric surfaces are ____ in warm, less-dense air and ____in cold, more-dense air. higher; lower Because of friction, surface winds move ____ winds aloft with the same pressure gradient. more slowly than The pressure gradient force is directed from higher pressure toward l...

The uneven heating of adjacent bodies of air causing warm air to be drawn upward, and more dense air downward defines______________________________________________. - Answer-CONVECTIVE CURRENTS Air is deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to the ________________________________. - Answer-CORIOLIS FORCE A narrow, high-speed, meandering band of air moving at a high altitude is called the __________. - Answer-JET STREAM Clear Air T...

How can you identify a region of strong pressure gradient on a weather map? What does strong pressure gradient imply about the strength of wind? Answers- When isobars are closer then there is a higher pressure gradient. That means the winds are stronger where pressure gradient is highest What are the forces that act on the air to make wind blow? Answers- - The pressure gradient is the source for all wind. - Air moves from high pressure to low pressure In the Northern Hemisphere, why do w...
