Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Although condensation and evaporation are important in powering these storms, the storms require
warm water underneath them to keep energy available. Also, it needs to have a ready source of hot,
humid air. Information can be found in the section Storms Are Variations in Large-Scale Atmospheric

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The horse latitudes are where Ferrel cells and Hadley cells intersect. Air falls to the surface in these
areas which then cause compressional heating. Information can be found in the section Atmospheric
Circulation Generates Large-Scale Surface Wind Patterns.
