Because there can be significant weather associated with fronts, it is vital that a meteorologist be able to locate them simply by looking at stations plots on a map. For a review on station plots, refer to the following link. http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/html/stationplot.shtmlLinks to an external site. or you can look at this way to read station plots:Below is a map of the United States with various stations plots on it. These stations plots are all the information needed to locate the current position of a front. It is your job to locate whether area A, B, C, or D is the location of a front. Again, use the information from the readings to look for the changes in meteorological conditions that occur before, during, and after a front. HINT: The front you are looking for is a cold front. Also, fronts typically come from the west and head east. Group of answer choicesArea CArea BArea DArea A

How does a warm front form?

The location is Kataia and Alexandra. For this question, you need to write suitable hypotheses for a hypothesis test. The research question for this investigation is: Do weather conditions change with different locations? One of the variables you will use for this investigation is called conditions and provides the weather condition at noon (Clear, Partially cloudy, Overcast or Rain/Snow). Another variable you will use is called location (based on the two locations you selected from Q1). Copy your two locations from Q1. Write down a suitable null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for your investigation in context. Construct your answer using the following structure. Copy and paste it into the template and complete your answers accordingly. The two locations: The null hypothesis: The alternative hypothesis:
