Question 3
pts
Which of the following statements regarding the illustration below is correct?
Values for the isobars (vertical green lines) increase towards the right such that the 1028 mb isobar is
closer to the low-pressure area (L) than is the 1000 mb isobar
Wind speeds near the high-pressure area (H) are lighter and milder than wind speeds near the low-
pressure area to the right that are stronger
Wind speeds are the same everywhere between the high- and low-pressure areas
The blue arrows represent solar radiation, not wind direction.
Question 4
pts
Which of the following areas is characterized by rain throughout the year and is associated
with tropical rain forests?
High pressure cells at approximately 30 degrees north and south latitudes
Polar high-pressure cells
Subpolar low-pressure cells at approximately 60 degrees north and south latitudes
