PRESSURE & WIND REVIEW / PRACTICE NAME _________________________________ For each #, circle the answer that correctly completes the statement. 1. On a weather map, windy conditions are experienced at places where isobars are (tightly packed, widely spaced). 2. On a weather map, calm winds are experienced at placed where isobars are (tightly packed, widely spaced). 3. Air flows (out of / into) a high pressure system. 4. Air flows (out of / into) a low pressure system. 5. In the Northern hemisphere, winds rotate (clockwise / counterclockwise) around cyclones a.k.a. low pressure systems, because of the Coriolis effect. 6. In the Northern Hemisphere, winds rotate (clockwise / counterclockwise) around anticyclone a.k.a. high pressure systems, because of the Coriolis effect. 7. Because air converges and rises at the center of a cyclone, skies are (cloudy / clear). 8. Because air sinks and separates at the center of an anticyclone, skies are (cloud / clear). 9. Air to the right or east of a High is coming from the (north / south) and is (warm / cool). 10. Air to the left of west of a High is coming from the (north / south) and is (warm / cool). 11. Air to the right or east of a Low is coming from the (north / south) and is (warm / cool). 12. Air to the left of west of a Low is coming from the (north / south) and is (warm / cool). 13. Weather and pressure systems move ________ to _______ (to the right) across the United states, because of the Jet stream. H L On the map below: 1. Label the cyclone with an ‘L’ 2. Label the anticyclone with an ‘H’ 3. Draw arrows to show wind movement around the Low. 4. Draw arrows to show wind movement around the High. 5. Label a windy location with a ‘W’. 6. Label a location that has calm winds with a ‘C’. 7. Will weather in Wisconsin be cloudy or clear tomorrow? 8. Identify a sunny location with a sun symbol. ¤
