3.
How does the Coriolis effect deflect moving air?
Counter-clockwise in both hemispheres
To the left in the northern hemisphere and to the right in the southern hemisphere
To the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere
Clockwise in both hemispheres
4.
Upper-level air convergence causes surface pressure to:
Decrease
Remain the same
Increase
5.
What happens to air as it sinks toward the surface?
Warms
Remains at the same temperature
Can either warm or cool depending on the season
Cools
6.
