Which of the following statements is true?

Low pressure is usually means nice weather.

Air pressure is the same over the entire earth.

Worldwide winds are caused by rising air at the poles and sinking air at the equator.

Coastal breezes occur because water heats and cools more slowly than land.




PLEASE AT LEAST TRY PLEASE?

  1. The equator receives more direct sunlight because of the tilt of the earth

    2. The earth's tilt resulting in uneven heating and cooling of the earth

    3. Cools as it rises, and cool air then sinks

    4. Form from condensation, Reflect sunlight back into space,  
    Cause precipitation, you might want to do a little research on this one because technically greenhouse gases such as CO2 trap sunlight in the atmosphere so I think I got them all

    5. And Coastal breezes one :)

Answer:

1- Option (b)

2- Option (b)

3- Option (a)

4- Option (c)

5- Option (a), (b) and (d)

6- Option (d)

Explanation:

The equatorial region receives more sunlight than the polar region, so the places near equator are warmer than the places at the polar region, including the 80 degrees N latitude.

Seasons are caused due to the tiltation of the earth and the relative position of earth with respect to the sun.

Due to the increasing temperature near the earth's surface, the warm air rises up in the atmosphere, being less denser and eventually sinks due to the lowering temperature.

When there occurs the temperature difference between two different regions, then wind is generated blowing from the region of higher pressure to the region of low pressure.

Clouds are formed when condensation process takes place and are a good albedo that reflects significant amount of sunlight back into the space. Clouds during condensation starts precipitating in the form of rainfall, snowfall and fog.

The difference in the temperature occurs because of the unequal heating of the land surface and the ocean. The land area gets heated up faster and more readily, in comparison to the ocean. So the sea breeze as well as the land breeze occurs. Sea breeze blows from the ocean surface to the land area, whereas land breeze blows from the land area towards the oceans.
