  1. 3. The relative closeness of isobars indicates the horizontal rate of pressure change
  2. 6. Low-pressure centers are called cyclones
  3. 9. A wind blowing from the west
  4. 10. The most common unit of measure for atmospheric pressure is the millibar
  5. 12. A wind blowing steadily towards the equator
  6. 14. Strongly descending air is usually associated with high pressure at the surface

  1. 1. Large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns
  2. 2. A high-pressure center
  3. 4. Very warm surface conditions are often associated with relatively low pressure at the surface
  4. 5. Strongly rising air is usually associated with low pressure at the surface
  5. 7. Very cold surface conditions are often associated with high pressure at the surface
  6. 8. Pressure differences are shown on a weather map with isolines of equal pressure
