Question restatement: ____ pressure is normally associated with warm air and ____ pressure is associated with cold air on an upper-air map.
Option 1: 'low; low' — This suggests both warm and cold air correspond to low pressure on an upper-air map, which is inconsistent with how upper-air maps relate temperature to pressure/height. Warm air is linked to higher geopotential heights and often higher pressure in the upper atmosphere, not universally low pressure. This option misstates the general relationship and is therefore incorrect.
Option 2: 'high; low' — This option claims warm air is normally associated with high pressure and cold air with low pressure on an upper-air map. In meteorology, warm air tends to be associated with higher geopotential heights and relatively higher pressure aloft, while cold air corresponds to lower geopotential heights and lower pressure aloft. This matches the standard understanding that warm air corresponds to high pressure and cold air to low pressure on upper-air maps, so this option is correct.
Option 3: 'low; high' — Here, warm air would be linked to low pressure and cold air to high pressure. This is the opposite of the commonly observed pattern on upper-air charts, where warmth relates to higher heights (and often higher pressure) and coldness to lower heights (and lower pressure). This option misrepresents the established association.
Option 4: 'high; high' — Both warm and cold air would be associated with high pressure, which contradicts the distinct pairing of warm with higher heights (and often higher pressure) and cold with lower heights (and lower pressure). It oversimplifies and ignores the dependency of pressure on air temperature and vertical structure, making it incorrect.
