(a)

Decode information from each of the following station models:
Answer to Problem 1E
Sea-level pressure 1002.4 mb
Temperature 37⁰ F
Dew-point temperature 21⁰ F
Sky coverage CLEAR
Explanation of Solution
The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 1002.4 mb. Temperature 37⁰ F, dew-point temperature with clear sky coverage. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.
(b)

Decode information from each of the following station models:
Answer to Problem 1E
Current weather CONTINUOUS LIGHT SNOW
Sea-level pressure 999.7 mb
Temperature 27⁰ F
Dew-point temperature 20⁰ F
Sky coverage OVERCAST
Wind speed 23-27 KNOTS
Wind direction NORTH WEST
Pressure change
during last three hours 1.1 mb
Pressure tendency FALLING
Explanation of Solution
The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 999.7 mb. Temperature 27⁰ F, dew-point temperature 20⁰ F with cloudy sky. The current weather of the area is continuous light snow. This weather represents a dry, windy conditions of the area because of high wind, low temperature and dew point temperature. Chances of rain are expected due to falling pressure. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.
(c)

Decode information from each of the following station models:
Answer to Problem 1E
Sea-level pressure 999.8 mb
Temperature 63⁰ F
Dew-point temperature 60⁰ F
Sky coverage PARTLY CLOUDY
Current weather THUNDER WITH LIGHT RAIN
Explanation of Solution
The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 999.8 mb. Temperature 63⁰ F, dew-point temperature 60⁰ F with partly cloudy sky. The current weather of the area is light rain with thunderstorms. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.

Which photo(s) (A-1) best illustrate(s) the methods of fossilization or fossil evidence listed below? (Photos/letters may be used more than once.)Permineralization: The small internal cavities and pores of an original organism that are filled with precipitated mineral matter. Photo(s):Cast: The space once occupied by a dissolved shell or other structure that is subsequently filled with mineral matter. Photo(s):Carbonization: Preservation that occurs when fine sediment encases delicate plant or animal forms and leaves a residue of carbon, Photo(s):Impression: A replica of an organism, such as a leaf, left in fine-grained sedimentary rock. Photo(s):Amber: Hardened resin of ancient trees that preserved delicate organisms such as insects. Photo(s):Indirect evidence: Traces of prehistoric life but not the organism itself.
