Question
48. Orographic lifting occurs where sloping terrains, such as mountains, act as bar air and forces air upward a. True b. False 49. The most important process involved in cloud formation is a. cooling by compression of air b. cooling by release of latent heat of vaporization c. cooling by expansion of air d. radiation cooling e. cooling by contact with a cold surface 50. To raise the temperatures of both equal amounts of soil and water to an equal reading, water would require more heat. a. true b. false 51. A steep pressure gradient_ a. would be depicted by widely spaced isobars b. produces strong winds c. is only possible in the tropics d. produces light winds e. none of these 52. Lines on a weather map connecting places of equal air temperature are called a. isovectors b. isobars c. isogrids d. isotherms e. isopressure 53. In the Southern Hemisphere, the winds associated with a low pressure system (cyclone) blow a. clockwise toward the center b. counterclockwise toward the center c. clockwise outward from the center d. counterclockwise outward from the center e. none of the above 54. Anticyclones are usually associated with a. b. c. d. e. diverging winds at the surface descending air clear weather relatively dry conditions all of theseExplanation / Answer
answer 48 true
explanation: the mountains act as a barrier and cause the wind to forcefully rise and get saturated with water and the precipitation.
answer 49 cooling by expansion of air
as the air rises it will expand since pressure drops and it cool adiabatically
answer 50 true
water has high specific heat than soil so it require more energy to get heat up
answer 51 produces strong winds
more low the pressure with respect to surrounding more the speed with which wind move hence more strong the wind
answer 52 isotherms
annswe 53 couner clockwise inward
answer 54 all of these
answer 89 false
answer 90 occluded
answer 91 true
answer 92 false ( it is adiabatic heating)
