The Kelvin scale is preferred in some scientific applications because:
A) it was created first and so has the longest history of scientific validation.
B) 0 K represents the freezing point of water, a useful scientific basis for a temperature scale.
C) it has the same degree value as the Fahrenheit scale, making it easier for Americans to use.
D) 0 K actually represents absolute zero, so the scale is based on the actual scientific definition of temperature.
Question 2
Why do surface winds cross the isobars at an angle toward lower pressure (instead of blowing parallel to the isobars)?
A) Pressure gradient becomes stronger near the surface.
B) It results from divergence in the surface wind.
C) Coriolis strengthens by combining with friction.
D) Convergence of upper level winds causes this.
E) Friction reduces the speed so Coriolis is weakened.
