Atmosphere, 0°- 30°, 30°- 60°, 60°- 90° - Coggle Diagram
Atmosphere
-
Energy
Is transferred from the low latitude energy surplus areas to the high latitude energy deficit areas by atmospheric circulation
-
High latitudes
suns angle is much lower, less intense energy
-
-
Tri cellular model
Hadley Cell
Sun heats air and rises at the equator, to create low pressure
Cool air is dense so sinks to the earth at 30°, creating high pressure
air moves from high to low pressure, air rushes to ground level to replace rising air
Ferrel cell
the Ferrel cell is a response to the two other cells, this cell feeds warm air to high latitudes and transfers cold air back to the subtropics
