At which latitudes is one likely to experience inclement weather?

-just 60N

-60 N&S; the equator

-90 N&S; 30 N&S

-just the equator

Relative to the jet streams which of the following is true?

-are the portions of the upper-level westerlies where the air is flowing fastest

-forces airlines to allot more time for flights traveling from west to east, shorter flight times from east to west

-are the portions of the upper-level westerlies where the air is flowing most slowly

-they are of greatest influence in the tropics

Solution

Amswers:

(1) The latitudes which is likely to experience inclement weather is 90 N&S; 30 N&S.

This is due to the polar and sub-tropical westerlies.

(2) (a) Jet streams are the portions of the upper-level westerlies where the air is flowing fastest.

They are a zone of strong winds located in the upper troposphere westerlie flow.

(3) (c) Land-sea breezes are caused by onshore air flows that develop in the afternoon (or late morning) as
the land heats faster than the adjacent water surface.
