One factor that drives atmospheric circulation is the movement of air from warm equatorial areas to cooler areas.

True

False

The atmosphere is that thin gaseous envelope that surrounds our planet; it is not at all motionless in relation to the Earth; On the contrary, it is constantly animated by various movements.

These movements of the atmosphere have extremely variable characteristics:

- sometimes, it's a pleasant breeze that comes to refresh us, by a beautiful summer afternoon, when we are at the seaside;

- sometimes, it is violent winds which sweep a large part of France while wrapping around a vast zone of low pressures; from time to time these winds are so violent that they can uproot trees and make roofs fly away;

- and, sometimes, these movements of the atmosphere are in the form of fast ascents, with vertical speeds of the order of 10 m / s; these ancestries are localized, occurring on a small horizontal surface, of the order of a square kilometer, and they can give rise to a cloud of storm, the famous cumulonimbus.

Although this list is far from complete, it illustrates the great diversity of atmospheric movements.

so that's true

One factor that drives atmospheric circulation is the movement of air from warm equatorial areas to cooler areas.
