Presentation transcript:

The map shows sea-level air pressure in millibars for a portion of the eastern coast of North America. The air pressure recorded at point D was most likely 1014 mb (3) 1010 mb (2) 1012 mb (4) 1006 mb

The diagram shows a portion of a topographic map The diagram shows a portion of a topographic map. Based upon what you see the value of Point A must be Greater than Point B Equal to Point B Less than Point B There is not enough information provided

What is a possible elevation, in meters, of point X? (1) 55 (3) 68 (2) 57 (4) 70
