Question

if you know any of these thank you

1. the motions of the oceans and the atmosphere are cuased by?

2. as altitude increases the temperature? decreases or increases?

3. do cold fronts generally cuase strong u[ilifting of air?

4. soil is heated by the sun becuase?

5.4 different types of air masses that affect north america?

6. if the barometric pressure fell rapidly with 24 hrs the weather expected would be?

THANKS =D

Answer 1

1.  The motions are caused by pressure differences generated by uneven heating and cooling within both the air and water.

2.  Temperature typically decreases, but there can be inversions in the lower levels that can result in an increase in temperature for a short vertical distance upward.

3.  Could front typically do create uplift of air.

4.  Soil is heated as a result of the absorption of solar radiation, which causes the molecules of the soil to become more energetic, resulting in more heat.

5.  N. America sees Continental Tropical, Continental Polar, Maritime tropical, and Maritime Polar air masses.

6.  Generally, a rapid fall in barometric pressure signals potentially unsettled weather.

Answer 2

The other meteorologists have it right.  They are a good source for education here.

Answer 3

1. Earth's rotation and the Coriolis Effect

2. Normally decreases with altitude. Frontal boundaries and nighttime radiational cooling can change that.

3. Yes. That's why thunderstorms are commonly associated with cold fronts.

4. It absorbs short-wave radiation and turns it into heat.

5. Continental Polar (cP), Continental Arctic (cA), Maritime Tropical (mP), and Maritime Polar (mP).

6. Something very unsettling.

Answer 4

These are just my opinion - I have no idea if they are correct or not....

1 - The rotation of the earth

2 - Temperature decreases as altitude increases

3 - Yes

4 - Soil is heated by the sun because of temperature transference

5 - IDK

6 - If the barometric pressure falls rapidly within 24 hrs the weather is expected to be unsettled.

Hope this helps
