Which conditions are likely to follow the current conditions in the area you focused on in the previous map? Select three responses.

A. high dew point
B. less humidity
C. no precipitation
D. lower pressure
E. cooler temperatures



Answer :

Certainly, let's step through the problem to derive the conditions that are likely to follow based on the given atmospheric conditions associated with the passage of a cold front.

1. Less Humidity: According to the table, after a cold front passes, humidity decreases. Therefore, the region will likely experience less humidity.

2. No Precipitation: The table indicates that precipitation switches from showers to no showers after the cold front passes. As such, the area will likely have no precipitation.

3. Cooler Temperatures: The table clearly shows a transition from warm temperatures to cooler ones after the cold front passes. Hence, cooler temperatures are expected.

Thus, the three conditions likely to follow in the area focused on the previous map are:

- Less humidity
- No precipitation
- Cooler temperatures
