What are typhoons?Cyclones in the western Pacific OceanStorms in the Atlantic OceanWinds that blow in desertsSeasonal winds in IndiaQuestion 4 of 205. What are anticyclones?High-pressure systems with outward-blowing windsLow-pressure systems with inward-blowing windsWinds that bring heavy rainfallStrong local windsQuestion 5 of 206. In which direction do winds move in an anticyclone in the northern hemisphere?CounterclockwiseClockwiseFrom west to eastFrom south to northQuestion 6 of 207. What does an anticyclone bring?Cloudy weather and rainClear skies and calm weatherHeavy stormsCyclonesQuestion 7 of 208. What is the center of an anticyclone represented by on a weather map?LCHAQuestion 8 of 209. What are monsoon winds?Local winds that last for a short periodPlanetary winds that blow throughout the yearSeasonal winds that change directionStormy winds that blow in desertsQuestion 9 of 2010. Why do monsoon winds blow from sea to land in summer?The land is cooler than the seaThe land is warmer than the seaThe sea exerts more pressureThe winds are deflected by mountainsQuestion 10 of 2011. Why do monsoon winds retreat in winter?The sea becomes cooler than the landThe land becomes cooler than the seaThe wind velocity decreasesThe rotation of the Earth stopsQuestion 11 of 2012. What is the Horse Latitudes?A belt of strong winds near the polesA high-pressure belt near 25° to 35° latitudeA region of heavy rainfall near the equatorA local wind in desert regionsQuestion 12 of 2013.
