A meteorologist uses a weather map to explain an upcoming change in weather. The map shows a blue line with triangle approaching a red line with semicircles. Based on the map, which weather prediction is most valid?

Question

-Humidity levels will rise
-There is no chance of precipitation in the forecast
-A significant drop in temperature will occur across the area
-warm temperatures will replace cold temperatures

Answer 1

The blue line with triangles represents a cold front, while the red line with semicircles represents a warm front. When a cold front approaches a warm front, you can typically expect warm air to be pushed upward, which can lead to precipitation and a change in temperatures.

Given this information, the most valid weather prediction based on the map is:

• A significant drop in temperature will occur across the area.

The cold front typically brings cooler air, which would result in a drop in temperature as it moves in.
