🔍 Key Concepts

• Standard weather map symbols for warm fronts, cold fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts • The shape (triangle vs. semicircle) and color (red vs. blue vs. purple) used to mark different types of fronts • Which side of the line the symbols appear on and whether they alternate or are all the same

💭 Think About

• First, recall from basic marine weather that a warm front is drawn with a specific color and shape. What does that symbol look like on a weather map? • Look at each choice and ask: Are the shapes all one type on one side of the line, or are they mixed/alternating? Which pattern matches what you remember for a warm front? • Compare the color and shape pattern in each option with what you know a cold front and a stationary front look like, then eliminate those that clearly match those other types of fronts.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which symbol uses only semicircles (no triangles). • Verify which symbol uses only triangles (no semicircles) — that one is not the warm front. • Check if any option shows alternating triangles and semicircles together or on opposite sides — those represent other front types, not a warm front.
