Atmospheric Heating and Circulation

Question No. 1

Global Patterns

Global patterns of atmospheric heating and circulation can be described as the flow of air around the earth due to temperature difference between the surfaces and the influenced patters of rainfall. The direction of the air flow is decided by the atmospheric circulation. The cold air flows from higher latitude towards lower latitude. Similarly the warm air is directed from lower latitude towards higher latitude. When the air is raised above the earth surface it than moves towards the troposphere region. After reaching there the air further proceeds towards the pole ...
