Explanation:
In the Southern Hemisphere, winds around a high-pressure system circulate counterclockwise (opposite to the Northern Hemisphere) due to the Coriolis force deflecting winds to the left.
Explanation:
Rain shadow deserts form when mountains block moisture-laden winds from reaching the leeward side. As air rises over the mountains, it cools and releases precipitation on the windward side, leaving the leeward side dry.
Explanation:
The 'Little Ice Age' (roughly 1300-1850) was a period of cooling in the Northern Hemisphere, thought to be caused by decreased solar activity (sunspot minimums) and increased volcanic eruptions that reduced solar radiation.
