On this weather chart, where is the wind stronger?
A weather chart of a low, marked L, ringed by four isobars labelled 992, 996, 1000 and 1004. Point A, marked by a line and dot, is on the left side of the low. Point B is on the right side. The isobars are drawn at different spacings on the two sides.
Show the answer
At A, where the isobars are close together. Isobars join places of equal pressure. Where they are close together the pressure changes quickly over a short distance and the wind is strong. Where they are far apart the wind is light.
