  43. Be able to label the high and low pressure regions, and indicate the direction of flow on each circulation cell of the three celled-circulation model. High Low High Low High Low High

  44. Essay #1 During the nineteenth century, many New Hampshire farmers found that crops grew better and that temperatures were milder on mountainsides than in valleys. Explain why. Mountain and valley breezes help to regulate the temperature on a mountain. At night, the cool mountain air sinks and flows into the valley. During the day, hot mountain air rises and a breeze flows up from the valley.

  45. Essay #2 Why can an umbrella salesperson in India take long vacations during the winter? How might air pressure during the winter affect umbrella sales? During the winter in India, cold sinking air over the continent flows toward low pressure over the sea, producing cold, dry winds. The lack of moisture makes for a dry season, which could affect umbrella sales.
