Question 1

The primary wind system in the tropics that flows toward the ITCZ on the equatorial side of the Subtropical High-Pressure System is known as the

Accepted Answer

The trade winds are the primary wind system in the tropics that flow toward the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) on the equatorial side of the Subtropical High-Pressure System. These winds are characterized by their consistent direction from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere, converging at the ITCZ.

Question 2

A large-scale convection loop in the tropical latitudes that connects the Intertropical Convergence Zone and the Subtropical High.

Accepted Answer

The large-scale convection loop that connects the Intertropical Convergence Zone and the Subtropical High is called the Hadley cell. The Intertropical Convergence Zone (A) is an area near the equator where the trade winds converge, while the Subtropical High-Pressure System (B) is a high-pressure zone located between 20 and 35 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. The Polar Front (D) is a zone of convergence between cold polar air and warmer air from the mid-latitudes, and the Polar High (E) is a high-pressure zone located near the poles.

Question 3

In general,the surface winds underneath the Ferrel Cell's Midlatitudes are

Accepted Answer

The Ferrel Cell is characterized by the descent of high pressure at around 30° latitude, which leads to the development of westerly winds near the surface. These winds blow from west to east and are responsible for much of the weather in the midlatitude regions of the Earth. So, the best choice is C) Westerlies.

Question 4

In the Northern Hemisphere,descending air spirals in a ___[1]____ direction,and upon reaching the surface it ___[1]_____.
Answer 1 Choices:
clockwise
counterclockwise
vertical
Answer 2 Choices:
converges
diverges

Accepted Answer

Question 5

The ___________ is(are)a core of low-pressure zones associated with the ITCZ.

Accepted Answer

The Equatorial trough is a core of low-pressure zones associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), where the northeast and southeast trade winds meet, causing rising warm air and unstable atmospheric conditions.

Question 6

The ultimate cause for all wind patterns on Earth is

Accepted Answer

The ultimate cause for all wind patterns on Earth is the unequal heating of land surfaces. This leads to differences in temperature and pressure, causing air to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, creating wind patterns.

Answer 1 Choices:
cools
warms
Answer 2 Choices:
less
more
no

Question 8

The band of high air pressure,calm winds,and clear skies that exist at about 25-30° N and S latitude is called the

Accepted Answer

The given description matches with the features of the Subtropical High (Hadley) Pressure System, which is characterized by high air pressure, calm winds, and clear skies, and is located at around 25-30° N and S latitude. The other options are incorrect as the Intertropical Convergence Zone is a band of low pressure near the equator, the Hadley cell is a large-scale atmospheric circulation pattern, the Polar Front is a zone of contrasting air masses, and the Polar High is a region of high atmospheric pressure near the poles.

Question 9

Examining a map of isobars,you can tell the relative strength of surface winds by looking

Accepted Answer

The concentration of isobars in a given area indicates the presence of a pressure gradient, which causes the wind to move from high pressure to low pressure. The closer the isobars are to each other, the stronger the pressure gradient force and thus the stronger the winds. Therefore, by examining the concentration of isobars, you can tell the relative strength of surface winds. The numbers on the isobars indicate the pressure values at specific locations, but they do not necessarily correspond to wind strength. The concentration of high or low-pressure systems alone does not give an accurate indication of wind strength.

Question 10

Question 12

The Coriolis force is the force

Accepted Answer

The Coriolis force, due to Earth's rotation, deflects moving objects like winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Question 13

On a global scale,air heated near the ___[1]____ results in ___[2]_____ as air rises within the upward-moving part of the convection process.
Answer 1 Choices
Equator
Midlatitudes
Poles

high pressure
low pressure

Accepted Answer

The answer of On a global scale,air heated near the...

Question 14

When isobars are close together,it means

Accepted Answer

When isobars (lines of equal atmospheric pressure on a map) are close together, it indicates a steep pressure gradient, which results in stronger surface winds as the air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure more rapidly.

Question 15

As air rises it __[1]___ and can hold __[2]___ moisture.
