1. What are isobars and relate these to pressure gradient.

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere
3. Low pressure cells move in which direction in the Northern Hemisphere? Clockwise or counterclockwise. What type of weather does a low pressure bring?
Low pressure cells move wind in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere. Low pressure cells bring poor weather and precipitation.
4. As you go up in elevation, what happens to air pressure?
Air pressure goes down
5. Explain the basic premise of air circulation as demonstrated by the tri-cell model.
Due to uneven heating of the Earth's surface and the rotation of the earth (coriolis effect) this tri-cell model shows how heat is redistributed. The hadley cells move warm air towards the poles and vice versa. This in turn accounts for the climactic zones and earth's general wind and pressure zones.
Bonus: In the tri-cell model, what are the three cell names?
hadley, ferrel, polar
