The coextensive United States lies in the zone of westerly breezes. United States lies in the zone of westerly winds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Westerly breezes are hostile to exchange winds that influence the atmosphere of the United States. These are otherwise called prevailing westerly.

The westerly breezes blow from west to east in the center scopes. These carry warm and equatorial winds to the United States. This results in warm temperatures in the zones where westerly winds blow. These winds originate because of high pressure areas in the ''horse latitudes''.

The conterminous United States predominantly lie in the zone of the westerly winds. Most of the territory of the United States lies in there territory. USA is in the northern hemisphere, and the territory is right where the coriolis effect takes place, so the winds go in eastern direction because of this natural phenomenon, so we have winds moving from west to east, thus westerly winds.

A weather map is shown below:
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The cold front is to the west of Dallas.

Explanation:

The curved line with triangles on the map represents a cold front, and the direction of the front is indicated by the way the triangles are pointing.

The cold front is most likely to affect Dallas in the coming hours and will probably bring rain, wind, and possibly thunderstorms to the Dallas area. After the passage of the cold front, the pressure will rise and the temperature will drop. The wind will now be out of the northwest.

The predictions are no always exact because some winter cold fronts can bring snow and not all cold fronts generate thunderstorms.
