Question
The Westerlies are__________.
- Permanent winds
- Seasonal winds
- Regional winds
- Variable winds
Hint:
Permanent winds
The correct answer is: Permanent winds
- Westerlies are the permanent winds.
- So, the correct option is a.
- Westerlies are the Permanent winds that blow in the middle latitudes.
- The winds that change their direction with onsets of different seasons are called seasonal winds.
- Variable winds are those winds which blow in a small area and are related to the pressure systems.
- Mesoscale winds are better known as local winds or regional winds. These wind channels extend over long distances around the Earth.

What is the effect of altitude on temperature?
- Air at higher altitude is under less pressure than air at lower altitude because there is less weight of air above it.
- So it expands and cools.

What will happen if human impact of greenhouse gas is reduced? Changes in Earth's orbit, solar output, and other factors affect changes in the climate. Suppose if we removed the human impacts of greenhouse gas discharges what could be the climate doing currently on its own?
- If all the factors were removed then Earth will cool down drastically.
- If human impacts of green house gases are increased and all other factors are workin then Earth will warm up.
