- Synopsis
- On this page there are two labelled diagrams showing the formation of a depression, both with a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. To the left of the page is a map of the formation of a depression and to the right is a cross section view. Map: This diagram has two areas: at the top a dotted texture represents cold polar air and at the bottom a lined texture represents warm tropical air. Two heavy lines go across the middle of the page. At the top of the map view is the cold polar air, its direction of movement shown by four arrows pointing towards the bottom of the page. Down from these are two lines: a thick continuous line running diagonally from the left of the page down to the bottom right of the diagram, which represents a cold front, and a thick dashed line showing the position of the cross section view. This runs horizontally from A on the left to B on the right. Down the page are four dotted arrows pointing towards the top, which show the direction of warm tropical air. Cross section: The diagram on the right of the page is a cross section (a view from the side) of the same event. It has three main areas: to the left a lined texture shows warm air, a dotted texture to the right represents cool air and near the bottom, a fine texture indicates the ground. At the bottom of the diagram is a thick dashed line with ends marked A and B; this equates with the dashed line on the map view. Up the page from this is the ground. Above this, on the left of the page is the warm air, with its direction of movement shown by four dotted arrows pointing diagonally up the page to the right. The thick line showing the cold front runs diagonally right up the page and to the right of this is a section of cold air with four arrows pointing to the left indicating its direction of movement.
