Which of the following statements is NOT true? Atmospheric circulation patterns keep the temperature of an area constant.
Papessa [141]

The answer is; Atmospheric circulation patterns keep the temperature of an area constant.

The atmospheric circulation does not keep the temperatures in an area constant, however, they regulate temperatures through convection currents. Hot air rises as cold air mass sinks to replace the rising hot less dense air. These currents transfer energy around the globe and prevent one area from overheating.
