The relationship between vorticity and convergence is such that
 
  A) angular momentum is not conserved.
  B) changes in vorticity in the upper troposphere can lead to convergence, but not divergence, near the earth's surface.
  C) increased convergence requires an increase in absolute vorticity over time.
  D) an increase in one value necessarily means a decrease in the other.

Question 2

Describe how changes in vorticity in the upper troposphere can lead to changes in surface pressure.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Vorticity aloft creates areas of divergence and convergence, which create areas of rising and sinking air, creating low or high pressure at the surface.
