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.

Is there permafrost inthe highlands area?

It is unlikely to find permafrost in highlands areas unless the altitude is very high. Permafrost is more commonly found in polar regions or at high latitudes where temperatures remain consistently below freezing for long periods.


What are the prevailing winds of the latitudes called?

The prevailing winds are different in different latitudes. In the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere, the prevailing winds are west to east. In the mid-latitudes of the southern hemisphere, the prevailing winds are from east to west.


Why do latitudes closer to the equator have warmer climates?

Latitudes closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight throughout the year, leading to higher temperatures. This is due to the Earth's curvature and the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface at different latitudes.


In what latitudes are moderate climates found?

Moderate climates are typically found in latitudes between 30 to 60 degrees north and south of the equator. These regions generally experience four distinct seasons with mild temperatures and moderate amounts of precipitation.


Why does diffrent latitudes on earth receive different amounts of solar energy?

Different latitudes on Earth receive different amounts of solar energy because of the Earth's spherical shape and its tilted axis. The angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth varies, with higher latitudes receiving sunlight at a more oblique angle, spreading the energy over a larger surface area. This results in less solar energy reaching higher latitudes compared to lower latitudes, which receive sunlight more directly.
