Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Surface Weather Map Exercise
Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a weather map of North America with symbols for fronts, pressure systems, and precipitation. We need to figure out what kind of weather is happening at location C.

Step 1: Look at where point C is on the map.
- Point C is in eastern Canada, near the coast (probably Nova Scotia or Newfoundland area).

Step 2: Check what symbol is right at or very near point C.
- At point C, we see three horizontal lines: “≡”
- According to the legend under “PRECIPITATION”, the symbol “≡” means Fog.

Step 3: Double-check if there’s anything else that might affect the answer.
- Is C near a front? Yes — it’s near a warm front (the line with semicircles), but the question is asking about the current weather *at* C, not what’s coming.
- The symbol directly at C is fog, so that’s the main answer.
- Also, note that C is near a low-pressure system (L), which often brings cloudy or wet weather — consistent with fog.

So, even though other things are happening nearby, the specific symbol placed at C tells us the current condition.

Final Answer:
Fog
