🔍 Key Concepts

• Life cycle of a mid-latitude cyclone (wave, open, occlusion, dissipating stages) • Difference between a cyclone (low pressure) and an anticyclone (high pressure) • What happens when a cold front catches up to a warm front

💭 Think About

• Think about how a typical mid-latitude low-pressure system evolves as fronts move around the center. What happens near the end of its life cycle? • Which of these choices describes a stage in the life cycle of a cyclone, and which describe different kinds of systems altogether? • Which choice is associated with the process where the warm sector near the center is lifted and ‘cut off’ from the surface?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers to a front-related stage rather than a completely different weather phenomenon • Eliminate any answer that is not a low-pressure system or is not a developmental stage of a cyclone • Recall that in the final stage, the cold front overtakes the warm front, and check which choice matches that description
