Recall that we discussed in Chapter 2 how the seasons were the result of Earth’s tilt. Analyze Figure 16.7. Describe how precipitation and temperature would vary along a line of longitude from the equator to a pole over the course of a year.

Figure 16.7 A model of atmospheric circulation. a. Lowand high-pressure systems and the wind patterns that result from their interaction. The sun is assumed to be overhead at the equator. Earth has been rotated to better illustrate the distribution of circulation cells. b. Each convection cell has an ascending and a descending limb connected by upper-level and lower-level winds.
