Small scale weather patters can form by winds and Coriolis that have differences

Question

Small scale weather patters can form by winds and Coriolis that have differences in pressure in their center compared to their outer ring. A low pressure center is called a cyclone and a high pressure center is called an anti-cyclone. For (A1) to (D1), choose "cyclone" or "anticyclone" For (A2) to (D2), choose the correct wind field and direction of rotation For (A3) to (D3), choose "converging center" or "diverging center" Northern Hemisphere Southern Hemisphere (A1) (A2) (L (A3) (C1) (C2) (C3) (B1) L (B2) H (B3) 0 (D2) D3)

Explanation / Answer

A low-pressure center develops a cyclone and due to the Coriolis force, it is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. And based on the direction of wind flow we can determine the convergence, which shows that cyclones have a converging center and anticyclones have diverging center.

A1. Option 4 cyclone

A2. Option 2 anticlockwise, inward to low-pressure center

A3. Option 8 converging center

B1. Option 7 anticyclone

B2. Option 5 clockwise outward from the high-pressure center

B3.Option 6 converging center

C1. Option 7 anticyclone

C2.Option 1 counterclockwise outward from the high-pressure center

C3.Option 6 converging center

D1.Option 4 cyclone

D2. Option 3 clockwise inward to low-pressure center

D3.Option 8 converging center
