C)winds on a surface weather map of North America
D)winds on a 500 hPa chart

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microscale motion refers to small-scale phenomena like the motion of individual air molecules or small air currents close to the ground. In this case, winds blowing past a chimney would fall under microscale motion, while winds blowing through a city or shown on weather maps are larger scale phenomena. The 500 hPa chart refers to the altitude at which the pressure is measured, rather than the scale of the motion.
