Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the Southern Hemisphere, low-pressure cells have a counterclockwise air circulation pattern, which means the answer choice B, stating that the circulation pattern is clockwise, is false. The other answer choices are also false: A is incorrect because there are no large land masses at 60° S latitude in the Southern Hemisphere, C is incorrect because the Southern Hemisphere experiences winter in January, and D is incorrect because there are breaks in the belt of low-pressure cells around Antarctica caused by the presence of large ocean basins.
