1. What is it about the pressure system stalled over Australia that relates to the weather over the next 4 days? The high pressure systems circulating around Australia are the reason that it is mildly cool weather and that it will be cloudy at most and  that there will be no rain.
2. What is the air pressure in each of the next 4 days for each of the capital cities? How does this correspond with the predicted weather for these cities? They support the weather predictions in that they are all low pressure and so will give off a cold front which explains the low temperatures and lack of rain.

All of these readings suggest mild weather because all of these reading are of high pressure systems.

1. What is the contour interval (sometimes abbreviated CI)? Convert to metric. The contour interval is 6.096m
2. What is the scale of the map? Convert it into the metric system. 2cm's equal one mile or 1.6km's
3. What is the gradient of the line? Calculate in metric system. rise = 36m run = 3200m
gradient = 0.01125
