The uneven heating of Earth's surface due to the angle of the sun's rays also determines the movement of air masses and ocean currents. Warm, moist air rises over the equator.

High in the atmosphere, the moisture condenses into ​ (a)   , and the ​ (b)   , dry air moves north and south.

The uneven heating of Earth's surface due to the angle of the sun's rays also determines the movement of air masses and ocean currents. Warm, moist air over the equator rises. High in the atmosphere, the moisture condenses into precipitation, and the cooled, dry air moves north and south. The cool air reaches the Earth around ​ (a)   north and south latitude, where it ​ (b)   and picks up more moisture to repeat the cycle

While the air masses are rising and falling, they move in ​ (a)   relative to Earth's surface due to their​ (b)   .

• swirls
• inertia

inertia means

• Inertia means the resistance of an object to change its state of motion.
• Inertia is the energy stored in a moving object.
• Inertia refers to the weight of an object.
• Inertia is the force that causes objects to move faster.

While the air masses are rising and falling, they move in swirls relative to Earth's surface due to their inertia. This is known as the

• Coriolis effect
• Newton's third law
• Archimedes' principle

While the air masses are rising and falling, they move in swirls relative to Earth's surface due to their inertia. This is known as the (a)   . The Earth rotating "below" them causes the air currents to (b)   . Air moves (c)   in the (d)   , north of the (e)   .

• equator

While the air masses are rising and falling, they move in swirls relative to Earth's surface due to their inertia. This is known as the Coriolis Effect. The Earth rotating "below" them causes the air currents to deflect. Air moves counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, north of the equator,
