Jeopary
Question
© Mark E. Damon - All Rights Reserved
Name one circulation cell,
describe where it is located, what
wind belt it creates, and explain
how that circulation cell could
create a high or low pressure
system.
© Mark E. Damon - All Rights Reserved
Example: The Hadley Cells occur
near the equator. They create the NE
and SE trade winds. Two Hadley
cells collide at the equator as they
push down on the Earth and create a
low pressure zone at the equator.
Where they collide with the Ferrel
Cells they push air towards the
atmosphere and create high
pressure.
