Temperatures tend to be hottest near Earth's equator. There, warm air rises and becomes lighter than the surrounding air. This warm air flows east or west and moves toward Earth's poles. Which of the following is most likely to result from this?

Earth spins on its axis, creating three belts of circulation. The belts of circulation determine how warm air and surface currents in the ocean will flow. The flow acts to redistribute heat from the Sun

Heat energy causes there to be differences in temperature and pressure on Earth's surface. When water in Earth's oceans and a

Which factor best explains the reason that average summer temperatures are higher than winter temperatures in North America?

The Earth moves in predicable patterns. One of these patterns causes the seasons as the Earth moves around the Sun along its elliptical orbit. This movement is referred to as —

Tropical depressions tend to originate over —

During an El Niño weather event, trade winds across the Pacific Ocean weaken, and waters along the coast of Peru and Ecuador become unusually warm. The warmer ocean waters result in —

Which of the following best describes on significant limitation of local and regional weather forecasting?

In the water cycle, surface water evaporates into the atmosphere, condenses and eventually falls to Earth as precipitation. What part of this system is MOST essential for the water cycle to function?

Which physical property of hot air results in the development of convection currents?
