Extratropical cyclones form between two air masses. They have a low pressure zone in the center of
the spinning air mass. Information can be found in the section Storms Are Variations in Large-Scale
Atmospheric Circulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
The ITCZ lies at the thermal equator. The thermal equator, however, does not form a straight line. It is
approximately 5 north of the geographical equator. Information can be found in the section
