Tropical Storm/Extreme Weather

All air is under pressure but if it is rising then the air is said to be unstable and the pressure is _______

• higher
• lower

The _____________ is the largest cell and extends from the equator to between 30 and 40⁰ North and South.

• Hadley Cell
• Polar Cell
• Ferrel Cell

In these latitudes the cooler air from the poles meets the warmer air from the tropics, causing air to rise. 

• Polar Cells
• Ferrel Cells
• Hadley Cells

The _________ cells are found between 60 and 70⁰ North and South. These are typically colder and feature denser air. 

• Polar Cell
• Hadley Cell
• Ferrel Cell

The rising air in the Hadley cell at the equator forms an area of _____ pressure at the surface.

• high
• low

Working in the direction from the North Pole to the equator, what is the correct sequence for the three cells.

• Hadley cell, Polar cell, Ferrel cell
• Polar cell, Hadley cell, Ferrel cell
• Polar cell, Ferrel cell, Hadley cell
• Hadley cell, Ferrell cell, Polar cell

Air moves from high pressure to low pressure.

• True
• False

The spinning of the earth is called the.....

• Polar front
• Crylas effect
• Trade winds
• Coriolis effect

In the Coriolis effect, the direction of the winds are deflected to...

• the left in the northern hemisphere and the right in the southern hemisphere
• the right in the northern hemisphere and the left in the southern hemisphere

What is a tropical storm?

• An intense high pressure weather system with heavy rain and strong, spiralling winds.

• An intense low pressure weather system with heavy rain and strong, spiralling winds.

• An intense high pressure weather system with heavy rain and strong trade winds.

• An intense low pressure weather system with heavy rain and strong trade winds.
