1. Isotherms are drawn in ten-degree intervals. Temperatures lower than the isotherm value are always on one side of the isotherm and higher temperatures are on the other side, while you connect the points that are the same. If the highest/lowest temperature value on the map equals an isotherm value, you're not supposed to draw that isotherm. If a temperature value appears out of place, you have to circle that value.  2. A Blue Norther is a fast-moving cold front that causes temperatures to drop dramatically. Common characteristics are a dark blue-black sky, strong winds, and temperatures than can drop 20-30 degrees Fahrenheit in a few minutes.

What is the difference between a Santa Ana and a Chinook wind? What are they?

Santa Ana winds are located on the coast of california and they are really dry, warm winds that usually promote wildfires. Chinook winds are downward winds of the Rockies that are warm and dry.

I was looking more for there is no difference other than Santa Ana is southern CA and Chinook Winds are in northwest and the rocky mountain range and for part 2 that they arefohn winds. But you're correct!

Also, Im so happy someone finally answered my question :D It took a while :cry:

Since no one has updated this for a while, I'll ask a question:

What is the axial tilt? (Name the degrees and describe it)

23.5 degrees. Idk what you mean by describing it. It is what cause season to happen on Earth and the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis

newt is being annoying and not updating so I'll just respond for her. You're correct :D I would also add It also is the primary cause for seasons :)

Next Question:
What upper air chart is the jet stream most visible on?

200mb?


Next Question: Which type of heat is released on a sunny summer afternoon with high humidity when the sun begins to
set and the air begins to cool?

randomsci said:200mb
(sorry I didn't know how to do the box thingy.......)
This is a more complete answer: The jet stream is seen on both the 200 and 300mb charts. In the winter, the jet core is nearest to the 300mb since the air is colder and denser. However, in the warmer months the 200mb is better.
