KEY Warm Front: Occluded Front: Low Pressure: Cold Front: Stationary Front: High Pressure: Weather Maps and Fronts Directions: 1. Using ScienceSaurus, the Science Fusion textbook, or a web search, research what symbol indicates a warm front, cold front, occluded front, stationary front, low pressure and high pressure. Write each symbol into the key at the bottom of your weather map. BEFORE YOU DO THE NEXT THREE STEPS, RESEARCH HOW TO INDICATE WITH SYMBOLS WHAT DIRECTION A FRONT IS MOVING 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Draw a warm front moving east, extending in a curved line from California to Montana. Draw a cold front moving south, extending in a curved line from North Dakota to Indiana. Draw a stationary front along the east coast, extending in a line from New York to Florida. Label an area of low pressure in Texas. Label an area of high pressure in Maine. You may use ScienceSaurus, the Science Fusion textbook, or a web search. Answer the following questions: a. What type of weather is associated with a high pressure air system? b. What type of weather is associated with a high pressure air system? c. What happens to temperatures after a cold front moves through? d. What happens to temperatures after a warm front moves through? e. What type of weather is associated with an occluded front? f. By looking at a weather map and its symbols, how do you know what direction a front is moving? g. On your map, what type of weather is Texas experiencing? h. On your map, what type of weather is Maine experiencing?
