Question

the small red star shows salems location. which factors would a meteorologist consider when predicting that salems weather will become warmer and drier? (select the two correct answers.) (1 point) ocean air mass approaching rising humidity levels low - pressure near the coast cold front moving eastward increasing cloud cover high - pressure system moving in

Explanation:

• A cold front moving eastward would bring warmer air behind it (as cold fronts displace warmer air, but once the front passes, the area experiences the air mass that was behind the front. If the front is moving eastward, Salem would get the air that was to the east of the front which could be warmer).
• High - pressure systems are generally associated with clear skies (less cloud cover means more solar radiation can reach the surface, leading to warming) and drier conditions (descending air in high - pressure systems suppresses cloud formation and precipitation).

• Ocean air mass approaching would likely bring more moisture (not drier). Rising humidity levels mean more moisture (not drier). Low - pressure near the coast is often associated with cloudiness and precipitation (not drier). Increasing cloud cover would block solar radiation (less warming).

Answer:

Cold front moving eastward, High - pressure system moving in
