4_Describe in your own words what the numbers on the chart represent.
8700 9300 2 8820 89 9540 906 8 91 9660 9660
Explanation / Answer
Western United States. Explanation: Lowest number is the lowest pressure region -8700. Eastern united states. Explanation: Highest number is the high pressure region -9660. Central United states. Explanation: look for the tail of wind symbols. Triangular portion is 50 knots, lengthy line is 10 knots and smaller line is 5 knots.There are two triangles and three lengthier lines in a wind direction symbol which is located in the center. It means 2x50 + 3x10 = 130 knots. The numbers in the chart represents pressure values in the atmosphere. These values are used to estimate weather conditions in a region time to time.
