Question

Use the weather maps and data collected from satellite imagery to answer these questions. (2 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

You did not state which map is Texas and which is Maine but let us assume just as stated in the question, Texas and Maine take first and second maps respectively.

1. Maine

2. Maine

3. Texas

Explanation:

1. The second map depicts Maine, Maine has a closer proximity to the Atlantic ocean and as such is a colder region than Texas which is in a semi arid region.

2. Maine has a higher pressure because Maine is colder and cold air has a higher density, the higher the density, the higher the pressure because the air molecules are closely packed.

3. Texas is a semi arid region which means cold air mass and warm air mass collides more frequently than in Maine. Collision of cold air mass and warm air mass results in storms.

The tropical zone is the map with ash appearance (second map) because the temperature is even while the temperature climate zone is the multi colored map (first map), a semi arid climate has varying temperature and as such varying colors to depict varying temperatures.

Answer 2

Maine is colder
higher pressure is Maine
and more likely to have storms is texas
