5. Who is a meteorologist ?
E. Match the following:
Column A
1. Water cools and heats faster than
2. Frigid zone
3. High altitude
4. Coastal areas
Column B
extremely cold climate
land
moderate climate
low temperature​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer 3 : Altitude refers to the height above sea level. Temperature decreases with increasing height above sea level. This makes the higher areas to have lower temperatures than the lower areas. A rise in altitude causes a fall in temperature and a cooling effect which causes condensation.

answer 4 : Distance from the sea – Oceans heat up and cool down much more slowly than land. This means that coastal locations tend to be cooler in summer and warmer in winter than places inland at the same latitude and altitude.

answer 5 : Meteorologist

Meteorologists are scientists who study and work in the field of meteorology. Those who study meteorological phenomena are meteorologist in research while those using mathematical models and knowledge to prepare daily weather forecast are called weather forecasters or operational meteorologists.

answer e 1 : water cools and heats faster than — extremely cold climates

2: Frigid zone : low temperature

3: High altitude : moderate climate

4: Coastal areas : land
