Occluded fronts are associated with complex weather patterns, including a mix of rain, snow, and strong winds, as the cold front overtakes the warm front.
Explanation:
Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere, weather, and climate. Climatology is a branch of meteorology dealing with long-term weather patterns.
Explanation:
Surface winds blow at an angle to isobars (towards lower pressure) due to friction with the Earth's surface, which reduces the Coriolis force.
