Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
There are different names for great storms depending on region and relative strength. In the tropics,
they are called tropical cyclones. In the North Atlantic and Eastern Pacific area (as well as other midlatitude
areas) they are called extratropical cyclones or hurricanes, in the western Pacific they are
called typhoons, and in Australia they are called willi-willis. Information can be found in the section
Storms Are Variations in Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
These complex cells are in the mid-latitudes of both the hemispheres. Some air descending in these
latitudes moves poleward around the 30 latitude mark. It then joins the air from the air returning from
the north at high altitudes. These atmospheric cells are called Ferrel cells. Information can be found in
the section The Atmosphere Moves in Response to Uneven Solar Heating and Earth's Rotation.
