Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The boundary layer is the layer of air closest to Earth's surface where the wind is slowed by friction with the ground. The subpolar low is a region of low pressure located at about 60 degrees latitude where cool, polar air meets warmer, subtropical air. The westerlies are the prevailing winds in the middle latitudes that blow from west to east. The doldrums are regions near the equator where the air is calm and there is little wind.
