Which event is inferred by most scientists to be responsible for a climate change that has recently led to a decrease in the size of most glaciers?

Adjacent water and landmasses are heated by the morning Sun on a clear, calm day. After a few hours, a surface wind develops. Which map best represents this wind's direction?

Arrows on the maps below show differences in the direction of winds in the region of India and the Indian Ocean during January and July. Isobar values are recorded in millibars. Heavy monsoon rains usually occur in India during

The station model shows several weather variables recorded at a particular location. What was the most likely dewpoint at this location?

The map shows locations A and B on Earth's surface at the same distance from the ocean, at the same elevation above sea level, and at the same latitude. Which statement best explains why location A has a cooler climate than location B?

The diagram shows how prevailing winds cause different weather conditions on the windward and leeward sides of a mountain range. Clouds usually form on the windward sides of mountains because this is where air

The prevailing southwesterlies wind belt causes most low-pressure weather systems to travel across the United States from the

A psychrometer is used to determine which weather variables?

The diagram represents an aneroid barometer that shows the air pressure, in inches of mercury. When converted to millibars, the air pressure shown is equal to

A dry-bulb temperature of 30º C and a wet-bulb temperature of 29º C were recorded at a weather station. What are the relative humidity and the most likely weather conditions?

What is the difference in the air temperature and humidity between the cP and mT air masses?

The incomplete flowchart below shows some of the changes that occur in warm air as it rises to form a cloud. Which statement should be placed in the empty box to accurately complete the flowchart?

Based on the dry-bulb temperature and the wet-bulb temperature, what is the relative humidity?

Compared to an inland location, a location on an ocean shore at the same elevation and latitude is likely to have

A map view of surface air movement in a low-pressure system is shown. The air near the center of this low-pressure system usually will

The cross section below shows a weather front. 35. The large arrow shows the direction of the movement of the cool air mass. Which type of weather front is shown?

A parcel of air has a dry-bulb temperature of 16º C and a wet-bulb temperature of 10º C. What are the dewpoint and relative humidity readings of the air?

In the United States, most tornadoes are classified as intense

The arrows on which map show the most likely path in which these two pressure centers will move over the next few days?

The arrows on which map best show the pattern of surface winds around these two pressure centers?

Which map shows the most likely location of clouds associated with these pressure centers?

Which weather information shown at station B was measured with an anemometer and weather vane?

What was the probable air pressure, in millibars, at station D?

Which weather station had the highest relative humidity?

Which New York State weather station had clear skies?

Which climate condition generally results from both an increase in distance from the equator and an increase in elevation above sea level?

Evidence supports the idea that increases in carbon dioxide and methane in Earth’s atmosphere are major contributors to global warming. This is based primarily on the fact that carbon dioxide and methane are excellent absorbers of

The unequal heating rates of the land and water are caused by
