Which latitudes are associated with high pressure?
Cheater. You go to IHC. Cheater.
Why are cirrus clouds icy?
they are very high up in the atmosphere and since it is very cold up there ice crystals form instead of water droplets they then usually form a wispy looking cloud, sometimes they are called "mare's tails"
Does the arctic tundra get the northern or southern lights?
The arctic tundra gets the northern lights, or aurora borealis. The southern lights, or aurora australis, occur in high southern latitudes.
Why aurora is only seen in cold places?
The question should be: why are they only seen nearer the Polar regions? The temperature is immaterial. They result from ionising particles radiating from the Sun, interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. Since the latter can be considered to act as a bar magnet with its poles near the rotation poles, the aurora surround only the magnetic poles hence the planet's high latitudes (North and South). They are occasionally seen further South, very rarely even as far South as Southern English latitudes, although from there only as a glow in the Northern sky.
What high altitude cloud are made up of ice crystals?
This is because at those high altitudes, the air is too cold for water to stay as water, so the rising water vapor freezes into ice crystals, to form cirrus clouds, which are wispy because of ice.
What are cold air masses that form at high latitudes called?
polar air mass (meteorology), air mass that forms over land or water in the higher latitudes.
Cold air masses form at high latitudes are called?
polar air mass (meteorology), air mass that forms over land or water in the higher latitudes.
Cold air masses that form at high latitudes are called?
polar air mass (meteorology), air mass that forms over land or water in the higher latitudes.
What has a colder climate high latitudes or low latitudes?
places in low latitudes have hot climate and places in high latitude have cold climates because in high latitude its farther away from the equator which makes it colder.
Why don't hurricanes occur in the high latitudes?
Hurricanes require warm ocean water to form and maintain their strength. The water in the higher latitudes is too cold.
What are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle called?
High latitudes
What latitudes are the areas north of the Arctic Circle called?
high latitudes
Why are there few countries in the high latitudes?
The high latitudes have cold climates that are more difficult to live in. most of the land mass of the earth is currently not at high latitudes, so there is more land elsewhere for countries to be formed in. consequently, there are only a few countries at high latitudes.
What is the weather like in the northern latitudes?
In the northern part or, High latitudes the weather is cold & dry. Hopes this helps.
What are high latitudes also called?
cool high latitude areas are called
Why do glacial deposits form at high latitudes near the poles?
they form because they are at a high site in the air
What is the weather like in high latitudes?
well by my calculations it is fairly warm and sometimes very cold
