(a)
The airflow around each of these pressure cells.
(a)

Answer to Problem 1GST
The air flow around Figure (a) is clockwise and (b) is counter-clockwise.
Explanation of Solution
Gradient winds are the winds that blow at a constant speed parallel to curve isobars. The circulation of air in low pressure systems, such as midlatitude cyclones, is cyclonic flow. It is counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. Centers of high pressure, known as anticyclones, display anticyclonic flow. The flow of air is clockwise in the Northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Southern hemisphere.
Friction has a major role in the identification of the airflow direction near the surface of the Earth. The result is the movement of air at an angle across the isobars and toward the low pressure area. The resulting winds blow into and counter-clockwise around a Northern hemisphere surface cyclone. The blow of wind occurred outward and clockwise in a Northern Hemisphere surface cyclone.
(b)
The pressure system that is located in the Northern Hemisphere.
(b)

Answer to Problem 1GST
The pressure system that is located in the Northern Hemisphere is Figure (b).

(c)
The tropical cyclone among these pressure systems.
(c)

Answer to Problem 1GST
The tropical cyclone is Figure (b).
Explanation of Solution
Tropical cyclone is a system of low pressure occurring in tropical latitudes. A small area of low atmospheric pressure developed due to the differential heating over land and sea.

- Outline of topic: Increased urbanization together with climate changes forces cities to find solutions for their simultaneous water shortage and flooding problems. The preservation of water resources needs sustainable urban water management strategies that combine ecological health maintenance with these priorities. This study investigates combined strategies that involve rainwater collection together with wastewater treatment and the deployment of green infrastructure consisting of urban wetlands alongside permeable pavements. The research aims to discover multi-purpose solutions that decrease flood dangers together with water shortages while maintaining ecological health for long-term urban water management success. The research investigates ways in which novel solutions assist cities to create watertight urban areas capable of handling environmental pressures from global warming and population expansion.
