Comment on the atmospheric conditions shown (7 Marks)
This photo shows stable hot air balloons this makes all the simpler from the stable air conditions around it. This is shown from the anticyclonic high pressure in the atmosphere, and the stable almost easy moment in the hot air balloons. In the distance we see clear sunny blue sky, we believe a summers day as this looks late afternoon where the light cycle is at its longest and you get the most sunlight over the day. There is a lack of cloud development in cover here as the air is not rising, this shows more of a subsidising air movement. The subsiding leads for the air to heat as it sinks, this leads furthermore to reduced humidity leading to the dry clear conditions shown in the diagram. To control the balloon by the so called pilot who control their height by heat from below, and fall back to the ground under subsidising air conditions. An anticyclone is a region of high atmospheric pressure relative to the area that surrounds it, generally thousands of kilometres in diameter and called a high-pressure system. On a weather chart it shows a series of concentric, widely spaced isobars of 1000mbs and above. This photo typically shows from the way the balloons are almost floating as if this is the centre of the anticyclone which has a pattern of air circulation, with subsiding air and horizontal divergence of the air near the surface. The wind here is generally light, in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere which is shown here with the UK being in this section. Calm settled weather is usually synonymous with anticyclones in temperate latitudes like the one shared in UK.
2. Explain both the origin of tropical revolving storms and the weather associated with them as they move across an area (10 Marks)
The origin of any tropical storm stars as a low pressure over the ocean in the tropics. If atmospheric conditions are favourable
