Lab module 6: air pressure and wind | Geography homework help

Question 29: What do these two locations tell us about the migration of low pressure systems/the ITCZ near the equator?

A. Low pressure systems migrate northward throughout the year

B. Low pressure systems are stationary

C. Low pressure systems migrate with the sub-solar point

D. Low pressure systems migrate counter to the sub-solar point

Collapse and uncheck the GLOBAL CIRCULATION folder.

REGIONAL PRESSURE SYSTEMS

Alternating high and low pressures systems dominate the midlatitudes. Due to the global atmospheric circulation system, these high and low pressure systems generally migrate from west to east. The center of low pressure systems is denoted by an gLh while the center of high pressure systems is demarcated by an gHh. Associated wind patterns, designated by the isobars, indicate stronger and faster winds when the lines are closer together. Expand the REGIONAL PRESSURE SYSTEMS folder. Double-click and select Isobars. Select Location E and Location F. Zoom in so you can see both Location E and Location F.
