70% to pass

On a working copy of a weather map what color is the line that represents a stationary front?

A Red
B Purple
C Blue
D Alternating red and blue
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Alternating red and blue. On a weather map, a stationary front is typically depicted as an alternating red and blue line. This color scheme is used to indicate that the front is not moving and is stationary, unlike other fronts such as warm fronts (blue) or cold fronts (red). The alternating red and blue colors visually distinguish the stationary front from other fronts on the map. The other options are incorrect because a stationary front is not represented by a single solid color line. Red, purple, and blue are used for other types of fronts, but not for a stationary front.
