The world's cold temperature record (-129F) was set on July 21, 1983 in Antarctica. List two factors that probably contributed to this extremely cold reading.

Question 2

Compare a hurricane's eye to its eyewall.

Question 3

Where in California was the highest temperature ever recorded in the world (134F)?

Question 4

In the vertical, where are winds the strongest in a hurricane versus in mid-latitude cyclones?

Question 5

What is the common name given to the rising bubbles of air that transport heat from the ground to the air above?

Question 6

What do forecasters use in place of isobars on ocean weather maps and why?

Question 7

Instructions: Choose one answer from each pair of selections. If you use liquid-in-glass thermometers to record temperatures below -50C, you will need one that uses ALCOHOL  MERCURY as a liquid.

Answer to #1

high latitude
land mass

Answer to #2

The eye of a hurricane is its center. Within the eye, winds are light, clouds are mainly broken, and the surface air pressure is very low. The eyewall is adjacent to the eye and is a ring of intense thunderstorms that whirl around the storm's center. The heaviest precipitation and the strongest winds are found within the eyewall.

Answer to #3

Death Valley

Answer to #4

Hurricane winds are strongest near the surface, whereas the strongest winds of a mid-latitude cyclone are found aloft in the jet stream.

Answer to #5

thermals

Answer to #6

Because the variation of sea-level pressure is normally small, drawing isobars on an ocean weather map provides little useful information. Instead, forecasters typically analyze streamlines that depict wind flow. These are useful because they show where surface air converges and diverges.

Answer to #7

ALCOHOL
