They are also able to determine whether an air mass is retaining its original characteristics or taking on those of the surface over which it is moving. Thus, a most significant function of the map i
31、s to reveal a synoptic picture of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time. All students of geography should be able to interpret a weather map accurately. Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather conditions existing at the time of observation over a large geographica
32、l area. They reveal in a few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe.

33、er conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States.

35、s of weather modification have prevented meteorological results except in the seeding of super-cooled, upslope mountainous winds which have produced additional orographical precipitation on the windward side of mountain ranges.

39、orld Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate.

46、er to maintain itself.
