Short Answer: 1. The following questions refer to the figure below. i In the diagram, indicate the four layers represented by the letters a, b, c, and d ii) At which number (1, 2, 3, or 4) would the atmospheric pressure be lowest? highest? iii) which number is pointing to the stratopause? v) Which number is pointing to a temperature inversion? 120 F 100 80 40 20 00 80 0 40 20 20 40 60 Temperature(C) 2. On the figure to the right: a) A stationary front is positioned between numbers and__ b) A cold front is positioned between numbersand

Explanation / Answer

1.i.the four layers are the a.troposphere, b.stratosphere, c.mesosphere and d.thermosphere/ionosphere. these 4 layers composes the atmosphere with increasing altitude.

ii. at point 1 highest pressure will be there as force of upper 3 layers exrting on it and point 4 has lowest pressure as only one layer is overlying on it.

iii. point 3 shows the stratopause. stratopause is transitional layer from stratosphere to mesosphere in the atmosphere.

iv. point 2 shows temperature inversion. as temperature increases with altitude in troposphere and suddenly starts increasing in stratosphere, it is termed as temperature inversion.

2.a. stationary front is in between numbers 5 and 3 as both cold and warm air masses are trying to prodtude into each other causing no movement. triangles show cold front and semicircles shows warm front.

b.cold front is positioned between numbers 2 and 3. only cold air mass is protruding here(triangles represents cold front).
