Atmospheric circulation causes low pressure systems to be more common in some areas and high pressure systems to be more common in other areas. Which statement describes a way this circulation affects climate on Earth?(1 point)

Question

Responses

Around 30°N
latitude, high-pressure systems are common, causing clear skies.
Around 30 degrees cap n latitude, high-pressure systems are common, causing clear skies.

Around 0°S
latitude, low-pressure systems are common, causing winds to blow outward with sinking air.
Around 0 degrees cap s latitude, low-pressure systems are common, causing winds to blow outward with sinking air.

Around 90°S
latitude, low-pressure systems are common, causing sinking air and peaceful weather.
Around 90 degrees cap s latitude, low-pressure systems are common, causing sinking air and peaceful weather.

Around 60°N
latitude, high-pressure systems are common, causing the relative humidity to rise.

Answer 1

The correct statement that describes the effect of atmospheric circulation on climate is:

Around 30°N latitude, high-pressure systems are common, causing clear skies.

This is true because the subtropical high-pressure zones, typically located around 30°N and 30°S, are associated with dry, descending air, which leads to clear skies and arid conditions.
