As temp ____ air pressure ____ because warmer air is ___ dense and does not exert as much force on Earths surface

Increases, decreases, less

What’s the ferrel cell

It’s between the polar and Hadley cell. It produces a high pressure zone. Air of ferrel cell rises as it intersects colder polar air.

What’s the polar cell

Sinks and flows south intersecting feral cell. Because of this, annual snowfall is less than 2 inches. But blowing snow is constant.

As elevation____ atmosphere pressure _____

Increases, decreases

As humidity ____ atmospheric pressure ____ because water vapor is ____ than dry air molecules making the overall weight of air less.

Increases, decreases, lighter

What is the wind belt blowing from the southwest called?

Westerlies

What’s conduction?

Energy is transferred by direct contact

What’s convection

Energy is transferred by the mass motion of molecules

What’s Radiation

Energy is transferred by electromagnetic radiation

What does the Coriolis effect do

It deflects and curves the wind in its wind belt.

What’s the Hadley cell?

It’s driven by heat. The heat of region causes air to rise.the moist air produces rain storms, which cool down temperature. Eventually it sinks to latitude line at 30 degrees N. It’s the strongest cell of all atmospheric cells shifts north and south.

The greater the pressure difference between two regions..

The faster the wind blows
