Question 8
During the summer months, January in the Southern Hemisphere and
July in the Northern Hemisphere, high pressure is more common over
land.
True False 2 / 2 pts
Question 9
High pressure is mostly associated with the land in the winter months.
True False 3 / 3 pts
Question 10
Why does the pressure over continents change with the seasons?

5/16
The air holds more water vapor when cold, resulting in lower pressures
during the winter over land
The northern hemisphere tilts away from the Sun in winter so that less
gravitational attraction from the Sun results in higher pressures on land
Pressure over continents does not change with the seasons but remains
constant throughout the year
Colder temperatures in winter yield denser air and higher pressures on
land
3 / 3 pts
Question 11
Why does the air over the oceans maintain a more uniform pressure
throughout the year?
Oceans moderate air temperatures throughout the year whereas land is
characterized by more extreme temperature changes with the seasons
Cyclonic weather systems only travel across continents but not oceans Temperature changes occur more quickly over oceans so that there is not
enough time for pressures to change
Oceans cover a greater surface area of Earth than do continents
