  A) occurs when faster-moving air encounters slower moving air.
  B) can occur when contour lines on an upper-level weather map come closer together.

  D) has little actual effect on weather patterns.

Question 2

Given the implications of the hydrostatic equation, we would expect that
 
  A) pressure be independent of altitude.
  B) cold, dense air would have a greater vertical pressure gradient than would warm, light air.
  C) differences in temperature on either side of a cold front should not have any significant effect on upper-level pressure.
  D) differences in temperature on either side of a warm front should not have any significant effect on upper-level pressure.
