Base your answer to the question on the weather map below and on your knowledge of
Earth science. The map shows a low-pressure system with two fronts extending from its
center (L). Points A, B, C, and D represent locations on Earth’s surface. Two different
air masses are labeled.
Figure 1
Which atmospheric conditions describe the air mass that is influencing weather conditions
at location C?
1. cool and dry
2. cool and moist
3. warm and dry
4. warm and moist

The map shows the travel time of seismic sea waves (tsunamis) from locations around the
Pacific Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands. For example, an earthquake at any location on
the line "6 h" could produce a tsunami that would arrive in Honolulu, Hawaii, 6 hours
later. A tsunami is a sea wave caused by an earthquake.
Figure 5
Approximately how fast do seismic sea waves travel from Midway to Honolulu, Hawaii?
1. 31 miles per hour
2. 500 miles per hour
3. 1,500 miiles per hour
4. 3,000 miles per hour
