Meteorology Ch. 9 pages 262-263 Name _______________ Period _____ Air Masses and Fronts The following map shows the location of a low-pressure area. An L indicates the center of the cyclone. Lines drawn out from the center of the low pressure area indicates the position of two types of fronts. The letters A, B, and C represent places on the surface of Earth that are being affected by two fronts 1. Use the symbols mT and cP to identify and label two types of air masses on this map. 2. Identify the type and direction of the fronts by placing the correct front symbol and color on each line. 3. What is the source region for the air mass at point A? What is the source region for the air mass at point B? 4. Place the weather symbol for a thunderstorm on the map to show the probable location of thunderstorm. 5. Place the letter H on the map to indicate the area of high pressure – cool, clear weather conditions. 6. 7. Shade (green) areas where steady, moderate precipitation is falling. Label the location where you’d expect to see nimbostratus and altostratus cloud. Label the location of cumulonimbus clouds 8. Use arrows to show the direction of the winds at locations A, B, and C. 9. Describe the weather conditions that an observer would experience at locations A, B, and C: A: B: C:
