question 32

Multiple Choice

There are temperate rainforests that occur in higher latitudes (at approximately 25 and 50 degrees) . Based on your understanding of rainforests and how they are maintained at the equator, which of the following is a plausible cause for rainforests at higher latitudes?

• A)Cold air flowing at these latitudes holds water and as it falls to the surface it drops its water.
• B)Warm air deflected north drops its water as it moves away from the equator.
• C)Wind moving across oceans picks up warm water, then drops the moisture as it moves over cooler land masses at these latitudes.
• D)The Coriolis effect is much stronger at the equator. So warm, moist air that rises is deflected further north where the moisture drops out of the air and creates temperate rainforests
