(1 point)
Responses
A cold front moved into the area.
A cold front moved into the area.
A warm air mass replaced a cold air mass.
A warm air mass replaced a cold air mass.
High levels of moisture are contained within an air mass.
High levels of moisture are contained within an air mass.
A warm front moved into the area.
Based on the given information, the factor in the atmosphere that best explains the student's observations is "High levels of moisture are contained within an air mass."
A meteorologist uses a weather map to explain an upcoming change in weather. The map shows a blue line with triangles approaching a red line with semicircles. Based on the map, which weather prediction is most valid? (1 point)
Responses
Warm temperatures will replace cold temperatures.
Warm temperatures will replace cold temperatures.
There is no chance of precipitation in the forecast.
There is no chance of precipitation in the forecast.
A significant drop in temperature will occur across the area.
A significant drop in temperature will occur across the area.
Humidity levels will rise.
Based on the given weather map description, the most valid weather prediction would be "Humidity levels will rise."
Which factor in the atmosphere is most responsible for changes in an area’s temperatures and humidity levels?(1 point)
Responses
movement of large air masses
movement of large air masses
different types of cloud formations
different types of cloud formations
density of air
density of air
amount of precipitation
The factor in the atmosphere that is most responsible for changes in an area's temperatures and humidity levels is the "movement of large air masses."
Use the weather forecast from a meteorologist to answer the question.
“Temperatures will plummet late Thursday night through Saturday. All areas across the eastern region of the state are anticipated to be below freezing by Friday morning and again on Saturday morning. Heavy amounts of snow are possible late Thursday into Friday. High winds can also be expected across the area.”
Which news headline best accounts for this change in weather?
(1 point)
Responses
“A Cold Air Mass Exits the Region”
“A Cold Air Mass Exits the Region”
“A Warm Air Mass Forms over the Region”
“A Warm Air Mass Forms over the Region”
“A Warm Front Blankets the Region”
“A Warm Front Blankets the Region”
“A Strong Cold Front Threatens the Region”
“A Strong Cold Front Threatens the Region”
Based on the given weather forecast, the news headline that best accounts for this change in weather is "A Strong Cold Front Threatens the Region."
Which condition would most likely require the National Weather Service to issue a severe thunderstorm warning?(1 point)
Responses
an air mass developing over a large body of water
an air mass developing over a large body of water
a front moving out of an area
a front moving out of an area
a meeting of two air masses with major differences in temperature and moisture
a meeting of two air masses with major differences in temperature and moisture
a large amount of moisture in the air condensing to form clouds
The condition that would most likely require the National Weather Service to issue a severe thunderstorm warning is "a meeting of two air masses with major differences in temperature and moisture."
To determine which factor in the atmosphere best explains the student's observations, we need to analyze the information provided in the table. The options given are:
1. A cold front moved into the area.
2. A warm air mass replaced a cold air mass.
3. High levels of moisture are contained within an air mass.
4. A warm front moved into the area.
By examining the observed weather patterns in the table, we can compare the patterns to each of the options to find the best explanation. Look for consistent patterns that align with one of the factors mentioned.
For example, if the table shows a sudden drop in temperature followed by stormy weather and the table entry coincides with a cold front moving into the area, then the best explanation would be "A cold front moved into the area." This is because cold fronts are typically associated with temperature drops and the formation of storms.
Similarly, if the table shows a gradual increase in temperature and humidity, it could be due to a warm air mass replacing a cold air mass. Warm air masses typically bring higher temperatures and increased moisture.
If the table shows consistently high levels of moisture in the air, it indicates that high levels of moisture are contained within an air mass.
Lastly, if the table shows a gradual increase in temperature and the appearance of cirrus clouds, it might be due to a warm front moving into the area. Warm fronts often bring slowly rising temperatures and the formation of high, thin clouds.
By carefully analyzing the data in the table and comparing it to the different options, you should be able to determine which factor in the atmosphere best explains the student's observations.
