    • A. rain and wind are becoming more likely
    • B. settled, dry weather is becoming more likely

  2. Question 2

    Weather systems: which statement is NOT true?

    • A. Air pressure is measured with a barometer.
    • B. Isobars on a weather map join places of equal pressure.
    • C. Closely spaced isobars mean strong winds.
    • D. Weather and climate mean the same thing.

  3. Question 3

    What happens when a cold front passes?

    • A. Temperatures rise sharply and stay high
    • B. Cold air pushes under warm air, often giving heavy showers and then cooler, clearer weather
    • C. Nothing happens
    • D. Fog always forms for days

  4. Question 4

    A weather station recorded air pressure changing from 1012 hPa to 1020 hPa over 12 hours. What does this suggest?

    • A. rain and wind are becoming more likely
    • B. settled, dry weather is becoming more likely

  5. Question 5

    Weather systems: which statement is NOT true?

    • A. Air pressure is measured with a barometer.
    • B. High pressure always brings storms.
    • C. Isobars on a weather map join places of equal pressure.
    • D. Closely spaced isobars mean strong winds.

  6. Question 6

    What happens when a cold front passes?

    • A. Nothing happens
    • B. Cold air pushes under warm air, often giving heavy showers and then cooler, clearer weather
    • C. Fog always forms for days
    • D. Temperatures rise sharply and stay high

  7. Question 7

    A weather station recorded air pressure changing from 1016 hPa to 1006 hPa over 24 hours. What does this suggest?

    • A. rain and wind are becoming more likely
    • B. settled, dry weather is becoming more likely

  8. Question 8

    Weather systems: which statement is NOT true?

    • A. Closely spaced isobars mean strong winds.
    • B. Isobars on a weather map join places of equal pressure.
    • C. Weather and climate mean the same thing.
    • D. Air pressure is measured with a barometer.

  9. Question 9

    Why does high pressure (an anticyclone) usually bring dry weather?

    • A. High pressure creates rain
    • B. High pressure blocks sunlight
    • C. Air rises and cools
    • D. Air sinks and warms, so clouds do not form easily
