question 10 of 15
what does this symbol indicate on a weather map?
l
a. an area in which conditions are right for lightning to form
b. an area with low humidity
c. the point where a hurricane is likely to make landfall
d. an area with low air pressure

Explanation:

On weather maps, the symbol "L" is a standard notation that represents a low - pressure system (also called a cyclone). Low - pressure areas are associated with rising air, which often leads to cloudy and rainy or stormy weather conditions. Option A is incorrect because there is no standard weather - map symbol "L" for lightning - forming conditions. Option B is wrong as "L" has nothing to do with humidity levels. Option C is also incorrect because the "L" symbol does not indicate the landfall point of a hurricane (hurricane landfall is tracked and represented in other ways on weather maps). So the correct answer is D as "L" stands for low air pressure.

Answer:

D. An area with low air pressure
