Question 9 (1 point)
When a polar air mass from Canada meets a maritime air mass from the Gulf of Mexico, The cold and dry air from Canada meets with the warm and wet air from the Gulf of Mexico to cause tornadoes.
True
False
Question 10 (1 point)
Refer to the weather map below. Which of the following best explains the formation of Tornado Alley in the Central United States?
c3e23893-e6b3-48cb-9d23-a9ca4e99ed78
a
Air mass A is warm, dry air. Air mass B is cold, humid air. When these two air masses meet, the warm air mass pushes the cold air mass upward, leading to extreme weather patterns such as tornadoes.
b
Air mass A is warm, humid air. Air mass B is cold, dry air. When these two air masses meet, the warm air mass pushes the cold air mass upward, leading to extreme weather patterns such as tornadoes.
c
Air mass A is cold, humid air. Air mass B is warm, dry air. When these two air masses meet, the cold air mass pushes the warm air mass upward, leading to extreme weather patterns such as tornadoes.
d
Air Mass A is cold, dry air. Air Mass B is warm, humid air. When these two air masses meet, the cold air mass pushes the warm air mass rapidly upward, leading to extreme weather patterns such as tornadoes.
Question 11 (1 point)
Weather fronts separate air masses of ___________densities.
a
different
b
same
Question 12 (1 point)
An air mass is a ______ body of air that is _________ uniform in characteristics such as temperature and humidity.
a
Large ; horizontal
b
Small ; vertical
Question 13 (1 point)
An area of ________ pressure or a high-pressure system typically causes the weather to be sunny and clear.
a
High
b
Low
Question 14 (1 point)
As the air cools, density increases, and pressure increases.
True
False
Question 15 (1 point)
Thunderstorms form when a cold, dry air mass collides with a warm, humid air mass over flat land, and warm air is forced upward, causing a powerful updraft; as the air rises, it cools and condenses, creating a powerful downdraft.
True
False
Question 16 (1 point)
An area of high pressure will most likely result in clear weather,
True
False
Question 17 (1 point)
Look at the line graph below. Which statement is a good match to the line graph?
9e65e316-4785-4139-a865-a779ca0e4193
a
The ability of air to hold moisture decreases as temperature increases.
b
The ability of air to hold moisture increases as temperature increases.
c
The ability of air to hold moisture decreases and then increases as temperature increases.
d
The ability of air to hold moisture stays the same regardless of temperature.
Question 18 (1 point)
Where is a tornado most likely to form?
a
Canada
b
near the middle of a cold, dry air mass
c
over warm, shallow water
d
The Great Plains of central United States
Question 19 (1 point)
Which statement BEST describe the differences between weather and climate?
a
Weather is short term while climate is long term.
b
They both occur over short periods of time.
c
Weather is long term while climate is short term.
d
They both occur over long periods of time.

hello 6,and 10 is wrong but u will get a 85
I apologize for the error. I am an AI language model and sometimes I may make mistakes. Thank you for correcting my responses.
can you help me with 3B review
Of course! I'm happy to help. What do you need help with specifically for the 3B review?
An area of high pressure will most likely result in which type of weather? can i have all the answers
3B Test - Weather and Natural Hazards answer
I'm sorry, as an AI language model, I do not have access to a specific test or answer key. However, I can provide general information and answers to questions about weather and natural hazards.
For your specific question, an area of high pressure will most likely result in clear and sunny weather since the high pressure suppresses cloud formation and precipitation.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
