The position of the polar jet stream is usually somewhere between

Southern Canada and Mexico

What method of forecasting predicts the arrival time of a storm based on its current speed and other starting variables

Trends method

Is the saying the higher the clouds the better the weather true

High clouds indicate the dry air and high pressure of fair weather.

so it is true

What happens in a stationary front

A cold air mass and a warm air mass meet, with neither moving.
During a stationary front the weather will stay the same for several days or more than a week. It depends on what type of front is making the other front stationary.

What is thought to have caused the ice ages

Earth's Precession

If the relative humidity is high and the temperature drops water vapor may

condense

How are pressure measurements related to weather prediction

Decreasing pressure indicates stormy weather.

Increasing Pressure indicates better weather.

What inturment is used to measure then wind

The instrument which is used to measure wind is a anemometer. This tool is used to determine the direction in which the wind is blowing.

Which is a type of clouds that creates a uniform flat gray sky

Stratus

What method of forecasting uses the effects of past weather conditions as part of its forecasting method

analog method

You can locate regions of low wind speed on a weather map by locating what

regions where isobars are spaced far apart

What is the Match each measurement tool with what it measures

Hygrometer = Humidity

Thermometer = Temperature

Weather Vane = Wind direction

Anemometer = Wind

What of following causes tornadoes

coo,dy air meeting warm, moist air

How does region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in. What is the best prediction about the weather from this information

How does a region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in. What is the best prediction about the weather from this information?

Which statement is true of jet streams

The polar jet stream lies between the polar easterlies and trade winds

which is not part of the recipe for a thunderstorm to form

A cold front advancing
