Answer 2

ya im not sure math is my strong suit not this:( sorry

Answer 3

it's fine. Thank you for trying. :)

Answer 4

well i can help with 6

Answer 5

6. Which of the following best describes the change in temperature with altitude in the stratosphere?
temperature increases with altitude
temperature decreases with altitude <----|UNSURE|
temperature varies with altitude within the stratosphere
temperature stays the same through the whole stratosphere


Temp decreases the higher you go

Answer 6

So B is correct for that one?

Answer 7

ya

Answer 8

Thanks.

Answer 9

@YoungStudier

Answer 10

I've been doing a little research and it appears according to Wikipedia: "Given enough pressure, the normal vertical temperature gradient is inverted such that the air is colder near the surface of the Earth. This can occur when, for example, a warmer, less-dense air mass moves over a cooler, denser air mass." So I believe you are correct for the first one. I will do some more research for the others. ^.^

Answer 11

Thank you so much! @YoungStudier You're literally the best :3

Answer 12

Anytime ^-^
I couldn't find much on the second one, but I checked some previously asked questions and most of them pointed to what you believe the answer to be.

Answer 13

I know for sure it isn't B. Thank you. I'm just going to go with C.

Answer 14

Righto.
For the third one I believe you are correct. A good way to remember pressure systems is: High and Dry and Low and Wet.

Answer 15

It is Warm, dry air mass?
The teacher said that one is incorrect though. ;-;

Answer 16

:/ That's strange...

Answer 17

I know..I thought it was that for sure too..

Answer 18

@YoungStudier can you help me with my question

Answer 19

Yes, one moment, I'll try to help you once I finish up here. ^.^

Answer 20

kk:)

Answer 21

Which one do you think it could be besides that one?

Answer 22

i think B

Answer 23

The teacher says B is incorrect.

Answer 24

Uhm, so. According to a previously asked question on another site: " Barometric pressure rises when wetter, colder air comes through. Cold air is automatically more dense than hot air and the higher water content makes the air denser still. So to answer your questions a rising barometer could indicate everything but warm dry air."

Answer 25

So maybe Cold, wet air mass could be it?

Answer 26

That's what I was thinking because water makes stuff heavier, as funny as that sounds. :P

Answer 27

So for the next one it would be the opposite.

Answer 28

Okay, Let's just use that then :p
So it would be Warm, dry air mass?

Answer 29

For #4 I believe so, yes. ^-^

Answer 30

The next one, it's not D for sure, The teacher says it is incorrect.

Answer 31

So we can kinda cheat on this one and look at the previous two questions. We already found out that a rising barometer signals cold, wet air mass. So what do you think the answer could be for this one?

Answer 32

B?

Answer 33

or it could be A?

Answer 34

Aye, this one is a confusing one. Normally when it's about to rain you tend to see more clouds gathering in the sky. But as for the temperature, the air can be humid or cold. It's not entirely a fair question if you think about it. :/

Answer 35

I know, My teacher really messed up. All the questions don't make sense.
I think I'll just go with A..

Answer 36

I mean B. cx

Answer 37

Okay, best of luck ^-^

Answer 38

What about six? What do you think? it's for sure not B..

Answer 39

@YoungStudier You there?

Answer 40

Yes, one second, I'll take a looksie ^.^

Answer 41

Uhm, do you have any other guesses as to what it may be?

Answer 42

Maybe D?

Answer 43

Uhm, no, but you're close. :P

Answer 44

Lol C?

Answer 45

I believe so, yes. ^-^

Answer 46

All of the ones we worked on except one were incorrect. ;-; 27/42

Answer 47

I'm so sorry. D:

Answer 48

It's okay. I think it was maybe my teacher's fault. She probably didn't set up the thing right.

Answer 49

The questions were a little wonky. :/ :P

Answer 50

Yup. xD

Answer 51

xD

Answer 52

I'm just going to leave this question open. So I can refer back to it. :)

Answer 53

Okay. ^u^
