Question 1 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Which describes both cyclones and anticyclones?

Answer
A
Both produce wet, stormy weather.
B
Both are measured by changes in air pressure.
C
Both move air in an upward direction.
D
Both occur at the same time in the same location.

Explanation

Cyclones and anticyclones are both pressure systems: a cyclone is associated with lower air pressure, while an anticyclone is associated with higher air pressure. Their pressure is measured and compared with surrounding air pressure. They do not both produce stormy weather or move air upward, so the best answer is “Both are measured by changes in air pressure.”
