What is the primary reason why convection occurs in the atmosphere?

Geography
1 answer:
Marina CMI [18]3 years ago
5 0

The answer is it’s because there is unequal heating of Earth's surface. Actually the convection occurs in the troposphere but not in stratosphere because lower altitudes of the troposphere are warmer than higher altitudes, unlike in the stratosphere. Troposphere temperature declines with altitude in the troposphere but increases with altitude in the stratosphere.

A CT air mass is <br><br>hot and wet <br>cold and dry <br>hot and dry <br>cold and wet ​
Arturiano [62]

The correct answer is - hot and dry.

The CT air masses are air masses that originate from deep inside the land masses in the tropical regions of the Earth. The ''C'' actually stands for continental, thus indicating the formation of the air mass over a land mass, while the ''T'' stands for tropical, thus indicating the tropical region of where the land mass over which this air mass forms.

Because these air masses form over land in the tropics, they are hot and dry. The hot and dry characteristics come from the bigger heating of the land masses, as well as the lack of water vapor over the land masses.

What distortions does Goode's projection minimize?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The Goode homolosine projection (or interrupted Goode homolosine projection) is a pseudocylindrical, equal-area, composite map projection used for world maps. Normally it is presented with multiple interruptions. Its equal-area property makes it useful for presenting spatial distribution of phenomena.
