🔍 Key Concepts

• Low pressure systems vs high pressure systems in weather • How the term cyclone/anticyclone relates to pressure areas • Difference between fronts (boundaries) and broader pressure systems

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is a generally circular low pressure area describing a boundary between air masses or a whole rotating system? • Which term is usually associated with high pressure and fair weather, and which is linked with storms and low pressure? • Do the options that mention "front" describe shapes/lines on a weather map, or large round areas?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers to a high pressure system and eliminate it. • Decide whether a front is a line/boundary or a round area on a weather chart. • Recall which term is associated with storm systems and rotating low pressure in meteorology.
