1. If air is DIVERGING in the upper atmosphere what type of pressure system will this cause at the surface? (1 point) low high monsoon katabatic 2. If we are expecting mP air to move in and replace the cT air which is currently around. How will conditions change as a result of this? (1 point) an increase in relative humidity and temperature a decrease in temperature and relative humidity a decrease in temperature and an increase in relative humidity a decrease in relative humidity and an increase in temperature 3. Vorticity is a measure of (1 point) Earth’s rotation wave angle electrical resistance in the atmosphere the Earth’s orbital wobble 4.Santa Ana Winds are _____ processes and Katabatic Winds are ______ processes. (1 point) adiabatic; adiabatic adiabatic; diabatic diabatic; adiabatic diabatic; diabatic 5.Most lightning discharges (1 point) originate in a cloud and travel toward the ground. originate at the ground and travel toward a cloud. occur within clouds. originate within the ionosphere and travel to the ground. 6.When a tornado passes you the safest place to be is (1 point) inside your car under an overpass in a basement under a tree 7. As a dryline passes you you will feel (1 point) a temperature drop a temperature raise a change in relative humidity a change in wind strength 8.Low pressure centers at the surface usually appear on the east side of the trough along the path of the polar jet stream. This is because As the air heading to higher latitudes it loses planetary vorticity and gains relative vorticity air diverges and draws a low pressure at the surface. As the air heading to higher latitudes it gains planetary vorticity and loses relative vorticity air converges and draws a low pressure at the surface. As the air heading to lower latitudes it loses planetary vorticity and gains relative vorticity air diverges and draws a low pressure at the surface. As the air heading to higher latitudes it gains planetary vorticity and loses relative vorticity air diverges and draws a low pressure at the surface. 9. When lightning happens you should (1 point) stay in water. stay at elevated surfaces such as rooftops and hills. stay in your house/car. stay under a tree. (1 point) 10.At the end of the occlusion the warm air is (1 point) behind the occluded front. ahead of the occluded front. on top of the cold air and cool air. right above the ground. 11.When an air vortex is lifted the rising limb becomes _____ and the sinking limb becomes ______ . (1 point) a tornado; clear sky a tornado; a downdraft with heavy precipitation an updraft with heavy precipitation; a microburst an updraft with heavy precipitation; a tornado 12. An air mass is formed at the North Pole over the Arctic Ocean what type of air mass it is? mP cP mA cA 13.On a weather map what type of front marks the boundary between mT air moving in to replace cP air? (1 point) stationary dryline warm cold .
