Question

1. the table below shows average temperature and precipitation for four locations at different latitudes. location latitude average temp (°c) average precipitation (cm/year) a 0° 27 250 b 30°n 25 25 c 45°n 15 90 d 90°n -20 20 location c is in the mid - latitudes, where stable air prevents precipitation. location d is near the poles, where sinking cold air creates frequent rainfall and cold conditions. location a is near the equator, where rising warm air creates heavy rainfall. location b is near 30° latitude, where sinking air creates dry desert conditions. location d is near the poles, where warm rising air creates

Explanation:

• Location A (0° latitude) is near the equator. Rising warm air leads to heavy rainfall, matching the description.
• Location B (30°N) is near 30° latitude. Sinking air causes dry desert - like conditions, consistent with the data.
• Location C (45°N) is in the mid - latitudes. Stable air does not completely prevent precipitation as shown in the table (90 cm/year).
• Location D (90°N) is near the poles. Sinking cold air leads to dry conditions, not frequent rainfall.

Answer:

Location A is near the equator, where rising warm air creates heavy rainfall. - True
Location B is near 30° latitude, where sinking air creates dry desert conditions. - True
Location C is in the mid - latitudes, where stable air prevents precipitation. - False
Location D is near the poles, where sinking cold air creates frequent rainfall and cold conditions. - False
Location D is near the poles, where warm rising air creates... (incomplete statement in question, but based on knowledge, near poles it's sinking cold air creating dry conditions) - False
