Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the listed factors can provide information that can be used to predict the movement of a surface low pressure area. The orientation of isobars in the warm sector can indicate the direction of air flow and can help predict the direction of movement. The region of greatest pressure decrease is often located to the north and east of the low pressure center and can also provide information on the direction of movement. The movement during the previous 6 hours can provide information on the speed and direction of movement, which can be used to make predictions about future movement.
