Areas along the west coast of California cooler then you would expect for their latitude because a cold ocean current travels along the coast.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The west coat of California gets a cold current that is carried from the polar regions to this region. The cold currents make the air cooler and lower the temperature. This is why west coast of California is cooler when compared with the latitude and also colder than the east coast.

On the eastern coast, a warm current keeps the temperature warmer. The cold current brings very cold air because it flows from the polar regions and therefore keep the temperature low.

From the given choices the true statement is Surface winds blow parallel to isobars.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The winds which flow near the isobars, flow in the parallel direction of the isobars. They are not absolutely parallel to each other but are this much parallel that the purpose of the flight planning can be fulfilled with this.

These winds flow in perpendicular position to isobars which are present at that particular surface and they flow in this direction due to the acting of the force of friction in that area. This force of friction can also change the direction and the flow of the wind.
