Question 2

The intensity and location of monsoon activity is dependent upon the proximity to the geographical
  equator Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Mid-latitude heating is influenced by seasonal fluctuations in solar radiation. This occurs because of
the direction of Earth's tilt in relation to the sun. The Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes can receive
three times the amount of light energy in June as it does in December. Information can be found in the
section The Atmosphere Moves in Response to Uneven Solar Heating and Earth's Rotation

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
The intensity and location of monsoon activity is linked to the seasonal position of the intertropical
convergence zone. Information can be found in the section Atmospheric Circulation Generates Large-
Scale Surface Wind Patterns
