This is the best answer.
Question 2
0.34 / 0.34 pts
Air converges between high and low pressures at the surface.
Correct!
Air converges into a low pressure at the surface.
Air converges into a high pressure at the surface.
Air converges between low and high pressures at the surface.
This is the best answer.
Question 3
0.34 / 0.34 pts
Air spirals into the low in a clockwise direction.
Air flows out of the low pressure in a counter-clockwise direction
Correct!
Air spirals into the low in a counter-clockwise direction.
Air flows out of the low pressure in a clockwise direction
This is the best answer.
Question 4
0.34 / 0.34 pts
Air pressure increases with higher altitude.
Air pressure first decreases and then increases with higher altitude.
Correct!
Air pressure decreases with higher altitude
Air pressure first increases and then decreases with higher altitude
This is the best answer.
Where would you find convergence of air at the surface?
At Earth’s surface in the northern hemisphere, how does air flow around a low pressure?

Question 5
0.34 / 0.34 pts
It is because of the lower air pressure at the poles.
Santa Claus makes it this way
It is because of the cold temperatures at the poles compared to warmer temperatures in the mid-latitudes. It is this
temperature gradient that drives the coriolis intensity.
Correct!
The Earth has a spherical shape, where the difference in the speed of rotation (between latitudes) is greatest at
the poles.
This is the best answer.
Quiz Score: 1.7 out of 1.7
Why is the coriolis effect most intense closer you to go to the north and south poles?
