What are the highs and lows indicated on the weather maps of the northern hemisphere?
Highs and lows on weather maps in the northern hemisphere typically represent areas of high and low atmospheric pressure, respectively. High-pressure systems are associated with clear skies and stable weather conditions, while low-pressure systems are linked to unsettled weather such as rain or storms. These systems play a key role in shaping regional weather patterns.

What is the yearly weather in greenville sc?
The average yearly weather in greenville, SC ranges from 53 to 65F in winter, 65 to 74F in fall, 64 to 80F in spring and 87 to 90F in summer. These are average highs, and are not an indication of actual weather events from the day to day. With global warming, weather is becoming increasingly unpredictable and what was true in the past may not be true in the future. There is no such thing as global warming. Only idiots believe in global warming.
What type of temperature and rainfall does the Caribbean region experience?
The Caribbean region typically experiences warm temperatures year-round, with average highs ranging from 80-90°F. The region also receives abundant rainfall, with wet seasons usually occurring from May to October, while dry seasons occur from November to April. Heavy rainfall and tropical storms can occur during the wet season.
What are types of prevailing winds?
The types of prevailing winds include the trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies. Trade winds blow from the subtropical high-pressure belts towards the equator; westerlies blow from the mid-latitude high-pressure areas towards the poles; and polar easterlies blow from the polar highs towards lower latitudes.
What is the monthly rainfall and temperature of the Amazon rainforest?
The Amazon rainforest has an average monthly rainfall of around 9-12 inches (225-300 mm) during the wet season and around 3-6 inches (75-150 mm) during the dry season. Temperature in the Amazon rainforest remains relatively constant throughout the year, with average highs around 86-90°F (30-32°C) and lows around 68-75°F (20-24°C).
Why there are global high-pressure belts on Earth?
This is because the air around the equator gets heated and rises, forming a low pressure system which extends from 0- 10 degrees N and S. The air then moves out of these lows towards the poles, resulting in high pressure systems around the lower latitudes (around 20 degrees N and S), causing the desert systems in Australia and Africa. The air once again moves out of these high pressure belts to the next low pressure belt, which is located around 60 degrees N and S. These bring the rains to northern Europe and heavy snowfall and precipitation to the Antarctic coast. Lastly, the polar high pressure belt is locates at around 90 degrees N and S, which is why Antarctica is classified as a desert. So the reason for all this is because the warmth of the equator causes air to rise, forming a low. The air then sinks, forming a high. As the air moves out of the high, it rises as it has been heated by the land, and forms the next belt of low pressure systems. Finally, the polar highs are caused as the air moves out of the lows and sinks. There is more to this, including the Coriolis effect which causes winds and is due to the rotation of the E arth, however I don't understand that either :) Sources: geography classes

What are polar highs?
Polar highs are semipermanent, high-pressure atmospheric systems located over the polar regions. They are associated with cold, dense air masses and typically bring stable, clear weather with light winds. Polar highs play a significant role in shaping global weather patterns.

What is the weather like in Las Vegas in January?

What are facts about anticyclones?
# Anticyclones are also known as high pressure systems. # The sinking air in an anticyclone stabilizes the atmosphere, bringing clear, sunny weather. # Anticyclones have anticyclonic rotation, meaning their winds circulate clockwise if they are in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise if they are int he southern hemisphere. # Anticyclones often form the centers of warm and cold air masses. # Like other large scale weather systems, anticyclones play a key role in steering other weather systems. # Anticyclones can create temperature inversions that trap pollutants near the ground. # Very large anticyclones in the middle latitudes can become blocking highs, halting the normal eastward movement of weather systems. # Two anticylones can produce a low pressure called a trough between them. This trough can develop into a storm system. # Winds between an anticyclone and a cyclone can be especially strong. # Air in a high pressure system flows inward at upper levels and outward at lower levels.
What is Weather in December in Maui?

Does the movement of the ocean currents cause wind?
There is an interaction between winds and waves, but what drives global winds is the flow of solar heat from one area of the Earth to another. The general form is from the tropics to the cooler latitudes, but there are several mechanisms at work in large cells at various latitudes. However, the general motion of high pressure systems (anticyclones of cooler, denser air) is to the south and east in the northern hemisphere, as in the Siberian highs that impact weather in North America.
Why are African countries diversify their economies?
African countries are finding that a diversified economy helps weather the highs and lows. It also helps in the case of crop failures from disease or bad weather.
