A contour map of the temperatures in ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ of the western United States made on a given day in December 2011 is shown. The level curves are called isotherms. (a) Estimate the temperature at the Four Corners, the point where Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico meet. (b) Describe the change in temperature as you move south from the Four Corners. (c) Describe the direction you would travel if you were at the Four Corners and wanted to move as quickly as possible to the next warmer temperature zone. Comment on how your path intersects the isotherm. (d) A weather front is moving in if the isotherms are close together. Do you think a front is approaching the Four Corners? From what direction? Explain.

Concept Questions The drawing shows two thermometers, $A$ and $B$, whose temperatures are measured in ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{A}$ and ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{B}$. The ice and boiling points of water are also indicated. (a) Is the size of one degree on the A scale larger than, the same as, or smaller than on the B scale? Why? (b) Is a given temperature on the A scale (e.g., $+20^{\circ} \mathrm{A}$ ) hotter than, the same as, or colder than the same reading on the B scale (e.g., $+20^{\circ} \mathrm{B}$ )? Provide a reason for your answer. Problem (a) Using the data in the drawing, determine the number of $\mathrm{B}^{\circ}$ on the B scale that correspond to $1 \mathrm{~A}^{\circ}$ on the A scale. (b) If the temperature of a substance reads $+40.0^{\circ}$ A on the A scale, what would that temperature read on the B scale?
Fill in the spaces in the following table so that each temperature is expressed in all three scales. Round off answers to the nearest degree. GRAPH CANT COPY
