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

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.

Ocean and wind currents are both caused by

uneven insolation

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.

How do volcanoes affect Earth's climate

They cool it.

What forecasting method uses a cause-and-effect relationship to predict weather

Analog method

The ocean current that flows up the eastern US and across the Atlantic is called the

gulf stream

What usually means rainy weather because moist air is rising

Decreaseing air pressure

What does the L symbol indicate on a weather map

What does this symbol indicate on a weather map?

low pressure

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

regions where isobars are spaced far apart

Is the Intertropical Convergence Zone also known as the doldrums

Question: The doldrums happen in a zone known as the what?

Answer: intertropical convergence zone

What is spaced closely together on a map to show there is a drastic temperature change over a distance

Isotherms

Which type of the following is true of clouds at medium altitudes

mostly water

What would occur if the earth was tilted

The Earth is tilted, and it causes seasons.

For the same insolation order these regions from highest absorption to lowest.

as s hold

What is the Match each measurement tool with what it measures

Hygrometer = Humidity

Thermometer = Temperature

Weather Vane = Wind direction

Anemometer = Wind

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?

Hpow do the conditions in the united states change when the jet stream moves north

It gets warmer-Apex

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
