Answer:

weather map, also known as synoptic weather chart, displays various meteorological features across a particular area at a particular point in time and has various symbols which all have specific meanings.[1] Such maps have been in use since the mid-19th century and are used for research and weather forecasting purposes. Maps using isotherms show temperature gradients,[2] which can help locate weather fronts. Isotach maps, analyzing lines of equal wind speed,[3] on a constant pressure surface of 300 or 250 hPa show where the jet stream is located. Use of constant pressure charts at the 700 and 500 hPa level can indicate tropical cyclone motion. Two-dimensional streamlines based on wind speeds at various levels show areas of convergence and divergence in the wind field, which are helpful in determining the location of features within the wind pattern. A popular type of surface weather map is the surface weather analysis, which plots isobars to depict areas of high pressure and low pressure. Cloud codes are translated into symbols and plotted on these maps along with other meteorological data that are included in synoptic reports sent by professionally trained observers.

Answer:

Synoptic means "view together" or "view at a common point". A synoptic weather map shows weather patterns over a large area by putting together many weather reports from different locations all taken at the same moment in time.

What type of weather is responsible for the following weather forecast?
Molodets [167]

Answer:

A cold front

Explanation:

This weather forecast is a typical winter-like weather situation in a mid-latitude location. Before the passage of a cold front, the weather ahead of the front is rainy, but since the location is still on the warm side of the front, winds come out of the southeast. After the front as passed, cold winds are brought in from the west and the northwest and rain and snow can persist until drier air arrives.

Jupiter has 67 moons, more than any other body in the solar system. What physical attribute of Jupiter causes it to have so many
Harrizon [31]

The correct answer is - it's mass.

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our Solar System, but only the biggest, also it has the biggest mass by far from all the planets. Because of its very big mass Jupiter has a very strong gravitational pull. The strong gravitational pull contributes to the attraction and keeping of lots of bodies that can not escape it, instead they revolve around the planet. These objects, or space bodies, that the gravitational pull of the planet managed to trap, became the moons, or rather natural satellites, of Jupiter.

How would you describe the shape of chile? What problems might this shape create for chile's government?
boyakko [2]
Chile is stretched on the North-South Axis, but very thin on the East-West axis, or in other words: it's very long and very narrow.

Some problems connected to this are based on the large cost of transportation: the distances between the cities are very large and in fact, the southern part of Chile is only reachable from Argentina by land.
