Lab 1 - map analysis analyze the attached msl chart by drawing msl 1. pressure isobars every 4 mb. (12 pts) 2. sketch in the direction of the geostrophic wind (use blue arrows) and the surface wind (green arrows) at several locations (minimum 15 for each) on the map. (6 pis) analyze 500 mb height (solid, black) and 500 mb temperatures (dashed, red) on the plotted 500 mb map draw contours at every 6 dm at 558, 564, 570. 576, 582 and 588 dm. (12 pts) 3. 4. if 4 mb isobars are 250 km apart at 45 n, compute the geostrophic wind speed (showing work.) (5 ps) 5. do the same calculation for 30°n (showing work) (5 pts)

Consider a population of snowshoe hares in montana. their fur color changes in response to changes in day length. during the long summer days, they have brown fur, but as the days shorten in the fall, their fur turns white in preparation for winter. then as the days get longer in the spring, their fur turns brown again. their fur coloration acts as camouflage from predators. as climate change brings warmer fall temperatures to montana, colder temperatures with snowfall are coming later in the year, and there may be less snowfall overall. as a result, the hares' fur color may be mismatched to the color of their surroundings, making them more visible to predators. which snowshoe hares would have a reproductive advantage in this changing environment? which snowshoe hares would have a reproductive advantage in this changing environment? hares that change color in response to day length, as the current population does hares with a mutation that prevents them from changing color from brown to white hares with a mutation that causes them to change color in response to temperature rather than day length hares with a mutation that prevents them from changing color from white to brown

In which direction does the moving force of air flow? a-from warm temperatures to cold temperatures b-to areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure c-east to west d-from high elevations to low elevations

What can happen to solar radiation when it enters earth’s atmosphere? check all that apply. it is absorbed by earth. it is reflected by clouds. it is reflected by glacial ice. it is condensed into visible light. it is amplified by water molecules.
