What are Mid latitude deserts are caused primarily by?
The descent of dry air at these latitudes.
How are hurricanes related to frontal systems?
They aren't. Hurricanes are tropical systems that develop where fronts do not have as much influence as in temperate climates. A hurricane that moves into temperate latitudes can change into a frontal low, but this is not an inherent characteristic of hurricanes.
Why do southerly winds occur on the trailing side of high pressure region?
Most weather systems in the temperate latitudes move from west to east. This makes the west side of a system the trailing side. In the northern hemisphere, high-pressure systems rotate clockwise, resulting in southerly winds on the west (trailing) side.
Air moves from which pressure systems towards which other pressure systems?
Air moves from high pressure systems toward low pressure systems. This movement is the cause for the winds.
Where do global winds and pressure systems exist?
Global winds and pressure systems exist at the surface and at high altitudes. Surface winds include trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies. High altitude winds include high speed winds (which are often called jet streams). These high speed winds blow from the east in the low latitudes and from the west in the middle and high latitudes. Although local and seasonal variations occur, the wind and pressure patterns are generally predictable on the global scale. The high altitude wind and surface wind motions are related to each other.

Local winds always blow fromA.higher to lower pressuresB.high latitudes to low latitudesC highlands to lowlands?
A. Pressure systems determine where the wind blows, and while geography can affect those pressure systems it will not always affect it in the same way.
What provides the best explanation for the abundance of desert areas in the low latitudes?
High-pressure systems in these regions prevent the formation of clouds that could carry water.

How does the air affect pressure systems?
Atmospheric pressure systems are made of air.
What is the ultimate cause of a sea breeze?
A Low Pressure system. High pressure systems exist "by default"; meaning that high pressure systems occur everywhere that there are no low pressure systems.
How does a falling barometer indicate bad weather is ahead?
Most storm systems are low pressure systems. A low pressure system draws air inward and upward at and near ground level. This can lead to the development of storms. Low pressure systems in the middle latitudes often produce fronts, which can act as wedges that lift air upward to form storms. These fronts often form troughs, or elongated areas of low pressure.
