This study guide covers thermal inversions, focusing on their formation, connection to pollution, and impacts. It explains how normal atmospheric conditions differ from inversions, emphasizing the role of topography and high-pressure systems. The guide also details the health and environmental consequences of trapped pollutants during inversions and provides practice questions covering these key concepts.
