Question 2
Which of the following is true concerning the figure? INSERT FIGURE 4-18A&B, PLACED SIDE-BY-SIDE. REMOVE TEXT AT BOTTOM OF EACH FIGURE. NO CAPTION
A) Surface winds are shown at left and upper-atmosphere winds are shown at right because friction causes the wind to cross the isobars toward high pressure.
B) Surface winds are shown at left and upper-atmosphere winds are shown at right because friction causes the wind to cross the isobars toward low pressure.
C) Surface winds are shown at right and upper-atmosphere winds are shown at left because friction causes the wind to cross the isobars toward high pressure.
D) Surface winds are shown at right and upper-atmosphere winds are shown at left because friction causes the wind to cross the isobars toward low pressure.
