.3 Refer to FIGURE 1.3 showing the world's pressure belts and wind pattems at the earth's surface. 1.3.1 Provide a suitable term that describes major winds which blow all year round over large areas of the earth's surface. (1 x 1) 1.3.2 FIGURE 1.3 depicts winds deflecting to the left in the southern hemisphere and to the right in the northern hemisphere. Name the force that causes this deflection. (1 x 1) 1.3.3 Briefly describe any THREE characteristics of the force you mentioned in QUESTION 1.3.2. (3 x 1) 1.3.4 Explain why the equator is an area of converging air. (2 x 1)

1.3 Refer to FIGURE 1.3 showing the world's pressure belts and wind patterns at the earth's surface. 1.3.1 Provide a suitable term that describes major winds which blow all year round over large areas of the earth's surface. (1 x 1) (1) 1.3.2 FIGURE 1.3 depicts winds deflecting to the left in the southern hemisphere and to the right in the northern hemisphere. Name the force that causes this deflection. (1 x 1) (1) 1.3.3 Briefly describe any THREE characteristics of the force you mentioned in QUESTION 1.3.2. (3 x 1) 1.3.4 1.3.5 High Low High Explain why the equator is an area of converging air. (2x 1) Patterns of ascent and descent, of convergence and divergence, help us describe a more accurate model of air circulation. Justify this description by explaining in a paragraph of 8 lines how the tri-cellular model explains these patterns. (4 x 2) (8) Low Low FIGURE 1.3 60°N 60°S 30°N 0° (3) (2) 30°S
