Question

Points A and B in the figure below are at the same altitude. The solid line indicates the 850 mb pressure level. Does point A lie in an upper-level RIDGE or TROUGH? Is the air at A WARMER or COLDER than at B? Is the pressure at A HIGHER or LOWER than at B? (choose one word from each pair)

A) Trough_________Colder_________Higher

B) Ridge_______Warmer________Higher
C) Ridge________ Colder_________Higher
D) Ridge______Warmer________Lower
E) Trough_______ Colder_________Lower
F) b.Trough_______Warmer________Higher

Explanation / Answer

point A lies in TROUGH

air at A is warmer athan B as it lier in higher pressure

pressure at A is higher in A than B
