In the intertropical convergence zone, for what reasons is higher atmospheric pressure found in the upper levels of the atmosphere? Complete 0.00 out Select one: a The Coriolis force causes anitcyclones with very high central pressure to spin up in the vicinity of the equator. b. None of the available answers are correct. c. Intense heating from strong direct solar radiation drives convection, which carries atmospheric particles upward, where they accumulate near the tropopause. d. The subtropical jet stream supports the development of high pressure in the intertropical convergence zone. e. Surface convergence of the trade winds helps strong surface low pressure to develop, which in turn causes high pressure to develop in the upper levels.
