An air pressure contour line joins locations in a region having the same atmospheric pressure. The following is an air pressure contour plot of a geographical region. Contour lines are shown at 0.05 bar intervals in this plot If the possibility of a thunderstorm is given by how fast air pressure rises or drops over a region, which of the following regions is most likely to have a thunderstorm?

An air pressure contour line joins locations in a region having the same atmospheric pressure. The following is an air pressure contour plot of a geographical region. Contour lines are shown at 0.05 bar intervals in this plot If the possibility of a thunderstorm is given by how fast air pressure rises or drops over a region, which of the following regions is most likely to have a thunderstorm? Correct Answer R

Possibility of thunderstorm = ?

They defined possibility of thunderstorm is given by low fast air pressure rises or drops over region.

Now if you will closely notice the diagram given in the question then you will notice that only in the region ‘R’ there are 4 contour lines passing i.e. variation of pressure or pressure rise/drop in a that region is very fast and rapid Hence the answer is R.
