Question

The diagram to the left shows the pattern of air movement within a closed room. if the room is considered a model of circulation in the earth's atmosphere, at which location would air pressure be greatest? (a) E (b) A (c) C (d) B Base your answer to questions 14 and 15 on the map on the right where points A, B, C and D are location on Earth's surface. The strongest winds are closest to location (a) A (b) C (c) B (d) D As one goes from location C to B to A the wind speed? (a) increases (b) remains the same (c) decreases (d) can't tell

Explanation / Answer

Air flow requires two conditions: there must be a difference in pressure between two spaces, and there must be a hole. If these conditions are met, air will always flow from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas.General Circulation of the Atmosphere body. The circulation of wind in the atmosphere is driven by the rotation of the earth and the incoming energy from the sun. Wind circulates in each hemisphere in three distinct cells which help transport energy and heat from the equator to the poles
