2Complete the paragraph about the Circulation Cells...
At the [blank_start]equator[blank_end], [blank_start]warmed[blank_end] air rises to 15km, causing [blank_start]low[blank_end] pressure. The air current divides, [blank_start]cools[blank_end] and moves [blank_start]north[blank_end] and south to form [blank_start]Hadley[blank_end] cells. The cooled air sinks at 30*c north and south of the [blank_start]equator[blank_end], leading to [blank_start]high[blank_end] presure.- Aequator
- Bwarmed
- Clow
- Dcools
- Enorth
- FHadley
- Gequator
- Hhigh
3Complete stage 2 of the explanation...
Some of the [blank_start]cooled[blank_end] air moves back towards the [blank_start]Equator[blank_end] as trade winds. The rest travels towards the [blank_start]Poles[blank_end], forming the [blank_start]lower[blank_end] part of the [blank_start]Ferrell[blank_end] cells.- Acooled
- BEquator
- CPoles
- Dlower
- EFerrell
4Complete Stage 3 of the Statement...
At 60*c north and south, the warmer air of the Ferrell cells meets [blank_start]cooler[blank_end] Polar air. The warmer air [blank_start]rises[blank_end] to form [blank_start]Polar Cells[blank_end]. This air travels to the Poles, where it cools and sink, forming areas of [blank_start]high[blank_end] pressure.- Acooler
- Brises
- CPolar Cells
