- Q1Winds may be named for their location or for the direction from which they blow. Which winds blow from 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres almost to the equator?easterliesthe doldrumswesterliestrade winds60s
- Q2Air circulates in the Earth's atmosphere. What is the fundamental cause of air circulation in Earth's atmosphere?Earth's magnetic fieldocean currentsenergy from the sunEarth's gravity60s
- Q3Which statement describes the general pattern of winds near the equator?Winds are generally weak because the equate is a region of mostly low air pressure.Winds are generally strong because the equator is a region of mostly high air pressure.Winds are generally strong because the equator is a region where low and high air pressure atmospheric bands come together.Winds are generally weak because the equator is a region where low and high air pressure atmospheric bands come together.60s
- Q4If there is a valley between two mountains and the air is moving down, which statement describes the moving air?Air particles are spreading farther apart.Cool air is causing an area of high pressure.Warm air is pushing cool air downward.Air particles are being heated by the sun.60s
- Q5The wind in a certain area is blowing from east to west. Which conclusion is most supported by this fact?The west is experiencing lower air pressure than the east.The west is experiencing lower air pressure than the east.The west is experiencing higher air temperature than the east.The west is experiencing higher air pressure than the east.60s
- Q6The atmosphere exerts a force (pressure) on Earth. Why does the atmosphere exert pressure on Earth?because of the effect of the ozone layer on solar radiationbecause of electromagnetic radiation from outer spacebecause of the pull of Earth's gravity on air moleculesbecause of the effect of greenhouse gases on heat radiating from Earth.60s
