High clouds indicate the dry air and high pressure of fair weather.

so it is true

What is thought to have caused the ice ages

Earth's Precession

Ocean and wind currents are both caused by

uneven insolation

What type of pressure change indicates stormy weather

Decreasing pressure

What kind of air would be characteristic of a maritime tropical air mass

Warm, humid

Why can bodies of water create microclimates

They cool and heat more slowly than the land around them

Which climate zone receives the highest insolation
