The Global Pressure Phenomenon - Lab Report Example

1. Where is the intertropical convergence zone? Why is it here and what is occurring here weather-wise?
It is at the equator between 300 N/S latitudes. It is a region where both cold air from the poles and present at the equator normally interact; replacing the lighter to move towards the North, hence the Hadley cell.

Questions Task 2
1. What kind of air mass can be found at 30 degrees north of the equator? What climate type is found at that location?
a. N.E and S.E Trade Winds (Found at 300 N/S)
b. Stormy wave climate
2. Based on this map alone do you think India is experiencing monsoons or dry weather?
According to the map, India experiences dry weather due to the falling dry air caused by Hadley cells.

Questions Task 3

1. Where do you think the winds are strongest in the hurricane and why?
The winds are strongest or most intense at the hurricane’s eye.
Since this is the region of the strongest swirling force of the hurricane, which acts as its core driving power compared to the surrounding regions.
2. Is this a low or high-pressure system?
The hurricane’s eye zone is a region of low pressure owing to the high speed of swirling wind. Read More
