Answer 13

wind speed increases

Question 14

Warm air rises, resulting in a _____ baromic pressure reading

Answer 14

lower

Question 15

cool air rises, resulting in a _____ baromic pressure reading

Answer 15

Higher

Question 16

Isobars connect what?

Answer 16

places of equal air pressure values

Question 17

A strong air pressure gradient will produce ______ conditions

Answer 17

windy

Question 18

wind blows from _____ to ______

Answer 18

High pressure to low pressure systems

Question 19

Most, warmer air produces _____ baromic readings

Answer 19

lower

Question 20

cold, dry air produces _____ baromic readings

Answer 20

higher

Question 21

Sea breeze

Answer 21

hotter, less dense air over land rises producing L pressure and the colder, denser sunking air over the water produces H pressure

Question 22

Land breeze

Answer 22

At night the land temprature is lower than the warmer water. Now the H pressure is over the cooler land, and the L pressure caused by the rising air is over the water.
