Answer 1

Explanation:

Monsoon

Monsoon is traditionally a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea.

Atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure, also known as barometric pressure, is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth. A standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa, which is equivalent to 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi.

(Extra Info) P_h= P_0 e

P_h = pressure at height h

P_0 = sea level pressure

g = acceleration due to gravity

k = Boltzmann's constant (ideal gas constant divided by Avogadro's number)

T = absolute temperature

m = mass of one air molecule

Upwind

In the direction from which the wind is blowing.

Downwind

In the direction opposite to the direction the wind is blowing.

Orographic effects

The orographic effect occurs when air masses are forced to flow over high topography. As air rises over mountains, it cools and water vapor condenses. As a result, it is common for rain to be concentrated on the windward side of mountains, and for rainfall to increase with elevation in the direction of storm tracks.

A laccolith is formed when magma makes its way up a d-ike and lodges itself between sedimentary rocks. The successive flow puts pressure on the rock such that a dome like structure is formed.

Sills are like mini laccoliths but instead are much smaller and linear. They can appear on multiple layers as shown in the diagram above.

One factor that affects climate is latitude. Why is it hotter at the equator than at the northern or southern latitudes? *

-The Earth is wider at the equator, so those regions are closer to the sun.
-The sun's rays hit the equator more directly.
-The North Pole always points away from the sun.
-It is windier further away from the equator because of the polar winds.

Answers

Answer: The sun's rays hit the equator more directly.

Explanation:

The Earth rotates around the sun on a tilt which is why we have different seasons because during some parts of the year, the sun hits some areas more than it hits others.

This is different for the Equator. Because it is in the center, it is always hit by the sun directly regardless of the tilt. This is why the equator is hotter than the rest of the latitudes. Every year, it is hit more directly than anyone other latitude.

Answer:

The Gulf of Mexico has somewhat shallow waters and is close to the equator, where temperatures are high. High temperatures and shallow water lead to rapid evaporation of water from the ocean. When the warm, moist air rises up, the air pressure drops, drawing in even more moist air, which leads to powerful winds.
