¿Qué nos indica una subida brusca y rápida en la presión indicada por el barómetro aneroide?What does a sudden, rapid rise in pressure on an aneroid barometer indicate?
Show the answer
Correct answer: d) A trend towards improving weather, without being able to guarantee that it will last.
Why it is correct
A sudden rapid rise of the barometer (typical behind a cold front or trough) signals an immediate improvement, often with brisk wind, but does not guarantee lasting settled weather.
Why the others are not
- a) Worsening weather is heralded by a sharp fall, not a rise.
- b) That corresponds to a rapid fall of the barometer.
- c) Lasting fine weather is heralded by a slow, steady rise.
How to work it out in the exam
- Rapid rise = brief improvement (slow steady rise = lasting fine weather).
