Question

question 8 1 pts atm and ocean circ: geosystems in action which of the following is true about the general atomospheric circulation model discussed in this section? air in the hadley cell rises at the tropics (of cancer and capricorn) and descends at the equator the itcz is a area of consistent cloud cover and rainfal trade winds flow toward the equator the polar front occurs where there is limited solar energy producing weak, variable winds

Explanation:

The Hadley cell has air rising at the Equator and descending at the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, so the first option is incorrect. The ITCZ (Inter - Tropical Convergence Zone) is an area of rising air, but not always of consistent cloud cover and rainfall as it can vary seasonally. Trade winds are the prevailing winds that blow from the subtropical high - pressure areas towards the Equator. The polar front is a boundary between cold polar air and warmer mid - latitude air, not primarily defined by limited solar energy and weak, variable winds.

Answer:

Trade winds flow toward the Equator
