Explanation / Answer
1) Indirect
we cannot do the temperature measurement like the measurement of length or mass, so we use an indirect method for that, usually by observing the effect of temperature on the properties of other materials. in thermometers, liquid in the glass tube rises due to the surounding temperature and it resebles the temperature at that time.
2) from the cool column to warm column
when the air cools its density also increases (high pressure) and the opposit happens when heated, less dense (low pressure) hot air will rises due to low density and air always blw from high pressure region to low pressure region, so the wind will blow from cooler to warmer air.
4)Between 30 degrees latitude and 60 degrees latitude
heat transport is proportional to the difference or the gradient of temperature. in the case of atmospheric heat transport this gradient is maximum etween 30 degrees latitude and 60 degrees latitude .
5) Cold
when the warm, less dense rises it start to cool and the moisture condense and form clouds which causes the precipitation along the cold front.
6)cold
warm moist air is forced upward by the coldfront, there is a significant difference between the density of both the fronts.
7) Warm
the warm moist air is the energy sources of these cyclones, the warm air will rises and cool this will leads to the formation of clouds, the spinning of the wind and this cloud system eventually turn as a cyclone.
