Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The Intertropical Convergence Zone is formed by the convergence of the trade winds from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, causing rising air and heavy rainfall.
Explanation:
Western Europe is primarily influenced by polar maritime air masses from the North Atlantic, which bring cool, moist, and changeable weather, moderated by the Gulf Stream.
Explanation:
Tropical cyclones are warm-core systems, meaning they are powered by the release of latent heat from condensation in the warm, moist air. Extratropical cyclones are cold-core systems.
