19. Are winds diverging and what would This result in? – 30 points
Using ESRT pg 14, where
Are winds diverging and what would
This result in? – 30 points
Answer: 30°N and 30°S, results in sinking air, high pressure and dry conditions

20. What is a sea breeze and What causes it? – 40 points
Answer: its when wind blow off the water towards the land due to unequal heating of water and land. Cooler water forms higher pressure, and warmer land forms low pressure. Winds blow from high to low pressure.

Answer: 46%. Found the difference between them, which is 4 and used Esrt.

25. Explain what needs to happen in Order to get cloud formation
– 40 points
Air needs to have moisture in it. As air is forced to rise for some reason, air expands and cools until dew point. Once this happens moisture needs CCN to condense on, then clouds form.

Answer: cirrus-
Cumulus-
Stratus-
Nimbus –
