Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
441 Why does the wind have a tendency to flow parallel to the isobars above the friction level?
Respuesta
  • O Friction has a very low influence and Coriolis force tends to counterbalance the horizontal pressure gradient.
  • O Centrifugal force acts perpendicular to a line connecting the highs and lows.
  • O Friction of the air with the Earth deflects the air perpendicular to the pressure gradient.
  • O Coriolis force is zero

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
442 With regard to windflow patterns shown on surface analysis charts, when the isobars are
Respuesta
  • O not close together, the pressure gradient force is zero
  • O close together, the pressure gradient force is greater and wind velocities are stronger.
  • O close together, the pressure gradient force is slight and wind velocities are weaker.
  • O not close together, the pressure gradient force is greater and wind velocities are stronger.
