What effect does latitude have on the angle of insolation and temperature?

Low latitudes have a high angle of insolation, resulting in higher temperatures.

Low latitudes have a low angle of insolation, resulting in lower temperatures.

High latitudes have a high angle of insolation, resulting in higher temperatures.

High latitudes have a low angle of insolation, resulting in higher temperatures.

What causes prevailing winds on Earth?

Gravitational forces from the moon

What is the primary subject of the diagram provided in the image?

Planetary wind and moisture belts in the troposphere

Ocean currents and their effects on climate

Types of clouds and precipitation

Earth's magnetic field variations

What effect does low pressure at the equator have on the atmosphere?

It causes air to rise, expand, cool, and condense to form clouds and rain

It causes air to sink and form arid regions

It increases the moisture content uniformly across the globe

It has no significant effect on the atmosphere

What does high pressure typically cause in terms of atmospheric conditions?

Air to sink and form arid regions

Formation of dense forest areas

Increased rainfall and cloud cover

What role do large bodies of water like oceans, seas, lakes, and bays play in climate regions?

They serve to modify climate regions

They increase the rate of heating and cooling of water

They have no significant effect on climate regions

They prevent any climate change

How does the proximity of land masses to large bodies of water affect their climate?

It regulates the climate by the slow rate of heating and cooling of water

It causes rapid temperature fluctuations

It leads to higher pollution levels

Which direction do warm ocean waters flow according to the image on ocean currents?

From the equator towards colder regions

From the poles towards warmer regions

From the equator towards warmer regions

From colder regions towards the equator

According to the image, how do cold ocean waters generally flow?

From the poles towards warmer regions

From the equator towards colder regions

From warmer regions towards the poles

From colder regions towards the equator

What happens to the air as it rises up a mountain?

It cools and condenses, creating a cooler, more moist region.

It heats up and evaporates, creating a drier region.

It remains stable and unchanged in temperature and moisture.

It increases in pressure and moisture.

What effect do mountains have on planetary winds?

They intersect and modify climate regions.

They have no effect on planetary winds.

They block all wind flow, creating stagnant air.

They increase the speed of the winds.

What occurs as the winds descend the mountain?

The moisture in the air is lost, creating a warm and dry region.

The air cools and gains moisture.

The air pressure increases significantly.

The air becomes cooler and wetter.

What does the diagram illustrate about the pressure distribution around a mountain when wind is present?

Higher pressure on the windward side and lower pressure on the leeward side

Equal pressure on both sides of the mountain

Lower pressure on both sides of the mountain

Higher pressure on the leeward side and lower pressure on the windward side

What happens to sunlight when clouds are present during the daytime?

Sunlight is blocked and heat energy is radiated back into space.

Sunlight is completely absorbed by the clouds.

Sunlight passes through the clouds without any interference.

Sunlight is used by the clouds to produce rain.

What is the effect of no clouds on sunlight reaching the Earth's surface during the daytime?

Sunlight reaches the Earth's surface and warms it.

Sunlight is scattered in multiple directions and does not reach the surface.

Sunlight is mostly absorbed by the atmosphere.

Sunlight is reflected back into space without warming the surface.

What happens to heat energy at night when there are clouds in the sky?

Heat energy is trapped and not allowed to re-radiate back into space

Heat energy is completely lost to space

Heat energy is used to warm the clouds

Heat energy increases the Earth's temperature significantly

What is the effect on heat energy during a clear, cloudless night?

Heat energy is allowed to escape and re-radiate back into space

Heat energy is trapped and increases the Earth's temperature

Heat energy is absorbed by the moon

Heat energy is converted into light energy
