Question

[TRUE/FALSE]

1) In considering how wind will interact with topography (e.g., the shape, height, distribution of terrain -mountains, etc.) one must consider velocity of the wind, which is represented only by speed (e.g. 10 mph, etc.) and not relative direction of the wind.

2) As a cold front approaches in the mid latitude northern hemisphere, pressure increases, reaches a maximum, then falls once the front has passed.

3) The Fujita scale classifies tornadoes, micro-bursts, and wind shear by damage they cause and their rotational wind speed.

Explanation / Answer

1. False

bcause relative direction of the wind would also be considered along with speed.

2.False

as the cold front approaches the pressure falls and reaches the lowest and after that it steadily increases and reaches a stable point.

3. True

fujita scale is a scale for rating tornado on the basis of intensity.
