The three-cell model of global wind circulation shows ____.
A) that global wind systems are generated solely by temperature differences between the equator and the poles
B) that global air flow is bordered by alternating bands of high and low pressure
C) that three low pressure regions constrain the global air flow
D) global air flow and three high-pressure regions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three-cell model of global wind circulation shows that global air flow is bordered by alternating bands of high and low pressure. It does not solely rely on temperature differences between the equator and the poles, nor are there only three low pressure regions. There are also high pressure regions involved in the global wind circulation.
