C) equatorial low and Bermuda high
D) Aleutian low and Icelandic low

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equatorial low and polar high are produced by thermal factors. The equatorial low is caused by the intense heating of air at the equator, which causes it to rise and create a low-pressure area. The polar high is caused by the cooling of air at the poles, which causes it to sink and create a high-pressure area. The other options are produced by dynamic factors such as the Coriolis effect and the movement of air masses.
