The circulation pattern of the Gulf Stream.
Answer to Problem 18TE
The circular pattern of the Gulf Stream occurs when the air of sweltering Doldrums moves upward and reaches the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere. Then, the division of this air occurs, and the two different parts of the air move in two different directions.
Explanation of Solution
The global winds result from cells like circulation pattern of heat distribution due to solar
In the Gulf area, the air of sweltering Doldrums moves in the upward direction and reaches the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere. Here, the air division occurs into two parts: one is going northward, and the other is going southward. When it reaches
Conclusion:
Therefore, the circular pattern of the Gulf Stream occurs when the air of sweltering Doldrums moves upward and reaches the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere. Then, the division of this air occurs, and the two different parts of the air move in two different directions.
