  4. _______________ A student walked a line of latitude at 6° 54.580' from longitude 158° 09.360' to longitude 158° 09.716'. The student measured a distance of 684 meters. Determine the number of meters per minute of longitude based on this data.
  5. Describe the process that produces the typical daily rain on Pohnpei. Use the back or another sheet of paper.
  6. How do you know that the Bergeron process does not produce the typical daily rain on Pohnpei? Use the back or another sheet of paper.

7. Toughie: Use the temperatures reported in class to calculate the relative humidity using the following table. You will have to round as necessary.

Relative humidity from dry bulb and wet bulb depression
Web bulb depression in °C: Dry bulb minus the wet bulb
Dry bulb T in °C0.5122.533.5
