1. Name four ingredients important for the development of supercell thunderstorms 1. 2. 3. 4. 2. Severe weather describes weather that has particularly notable negative impacts on a community. In some cases, whether or not a weather event is severe depends on the community it impacts. Give an example of a weather event that might be considered severe to one community and not severe to another. Please indicate the communities (e.g. a place on a map, houseless people, etc.) you are comparing 3. Choose the best answer for the process that causes a tornado to rotate faster than the thunderstorm updraft. a) tilting b) filching c) stretching d) leaping 4. If a front has passed you and the conditions changed from warm and humid to cool and dry, what type of front was it that passed? a) occluded front b) sea-breeze front c) warm front d) cold front 5. What is the primary force that causes the speed of the horizontal wind? 6. Which of the following soundings are most likely to indicate severe heat during the summertime? (1 point) a) conditional instability at pressure less than 850 hPa b) low dewpoint depression in the near-surface layer c) a near-surface inversion with high dewpoint depression above and no conditional instability d) a strong jet centered near 300 hPa 7. In addition to the primary force identified in question 5. what other two forces are important to the wind speed and direction in the weather map? 1.
