Which Atmosphere term is correctly associated with location: “blow between subtropical highs and subpolar lows”, and also with “generally flow from west to east”?

Correct Answer: Option B — Westerlies. Westerlies is correct because it is blow between subtropical highs and subpolar lows. Westerlies is also associated with generally flow from west to east. A further identifying fact is that Westerlies is generally flow from west to east. Another useful fact is that Westerlies is associated with steer many temperate cyclones. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — Doldrums: It is located near the Intertropical Convergence Zone and is associated with surface winds are often light and variable; those are the identifying facts of Doldrums. Option C — Troposphere: It is extends from the surface to the tropopause and is associated with temperature generally decreases with height; those are the identifying facts of Troposphere. Option D — Stratosphere: It is extends from the tropopause to the stratopause and is associated with temperature rises with height because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation; those are the identifying facts of Stratosphere. Exam Takeaway: Link Westerlies with “blow between subtropical highs and subpolar lows” and “generally flow from west to east” for quick revision.
