purpose of the Surface Analysis Chart - correct answer ✔atmospheric
phenomena occurring at one time sea level pressure, positions of highs/lows,
fronts, etc.
identify the types of analysis that are performed on a Surface AnalysisChart -
correct answer ✔-Frontal
- Isobaric
Isobar - correct answer ✔Lines of constant pressure
Trof - correct answer ✔elongated area of low pressure
Ridge - correct answer ✔an elongated area of high pressure
Isobar relationship to PGF - correct answer ✔closer the spacing of isobars,
the stronger the pressure gradient force. stronger the pressure gradient force,
the stronger wind.
What causes wind to blow? - correct answer ✔Wind goes from high pressure
to low pressure
How does wind direction relate to pressure? - correct answer ✔When facing
along an isobar or contour with lower pressure on your left, the wind will be
blowing at your face
