Question

part a :
based on the weather map, which city will most likely experience decreasing temperatures during the next 24 hours?
(a) billings
(b) minneapolis
(c) atlanta
(d) houston

Explanation:

To determine which city will likely have decreasing temperatures, we analyze weather fronts. A cold front (represented by the line with triangles) moving through a city typically brings cooler air. Minneapolis is near the cold front (the line labeled L - likely a cold front boundary) moving towards it. Cold fronts cause temperature drops as they replace warm air with cooler air. Billings has a high - pressure (H) or stable weather, Atlanta is near a high (H) and the front is moving away, Houston has warm temperatures and a stable front situation. So Minneapolis is most likely to see decreasing temperatures.

Answer:

B. Minneapolis
