Within the diagram and hemisphere above, winds circulate __________ around high pressure, and __________ around low pressure.

With some notable exceptions, __________ ocean currents are more commonly found along west coasts of continents, and __________ oceans are more commonly found along east coasts of continents.

Isobars are isolines that connect points of equal air temperature.

_____ surface pressure is created when air is heated at Earth’s surface and the hot air ascends (travels upward within the troposphere).

Where on Earth is there a deficit of thermal energy?

Plants (vegetation) contribute water to the atmosphere via:

Use the high and low pressure diagrams below to answer the following two questions:

Where on Earth are annual temperature ranges (ATRs) the greatest?

The daily air temperature generally lags behind insolation inputs.  In other words, the lowest daily air temperature typically occurs at sunrise and the highest daily air temperature typically occurs around 2 pm.

All the following are true about El Niño conditions, EXCEPT:
