Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

A wind that blows at a constant speed parallel to curved isobars above the level of frictional influence is termed a ____________?
Gradient Wind
Where the wind flow aloft is more north- south, the flow is called ------- .
Meridional
The amount of deflection depends upon? Give 2.
The amount of deflection depends upon: 1. the rotation of the earth 2. the latitude 3. the object’s speed
What is the first name of nineteenth-century French scientist who worked it out Coriolis force mathematically?
Gaspard
The sea-level pressure chart described so far is called ------- -------- ----------.
Constant Height Chart
Another type of chart commonly used in studying the weather is the constant pressure chart, or ----------- .
Isobaric Chart
True or false– When air is in hydrostatic equilibrium, there is no net vertical force acting on it, and so there is no net vertical acceleration.
True
True or false– Near the surface, friction reduces the wind speed, which in turn reduces the Coriolis force.
True
True or false– A difference in horizontal air pressure produces a vertical pressure gradient force.
False
True or false– The Coriolis force describes an apparent force that is due to the tilting of the earth.
False
True or false– Geo: earth; strophic: spinning
False
True or false– The altimeter and barograph are two types of aneroid barometers.
True
When the wind-flow pattern aloft is west-to-east, the flow is called? A. Spatial B. Direxral C. Zonal D. Meriodional
C. Zonal
Change in velocity over a period of time. A. Speed B. Distance C. Displacement D. Acceleration
B. Distance
Pressure gradient is A. difference in pressure x distance B. difference in pressure / distance C. difference in pressure / temperature D. difference in pressure x temperature
B. difference in pressure / distance
The large L’s represent centers of low pressure, also known as A. Depressants B. Depressing C. Depressor D. Depressions
D. Depressions
The most common type of home barometer. A. Asenoid baramoter B. Aneroid barometer C. Homid barometer D. Homoid barometer
