During the spring equinox, the northern hemisphere has just completed winter, and the southern hemisphere has just completed summer. (circle one)

a) During the spring equinox, the northern/southern hemisphere should have the largest temperature gradient (i.e the largest difference in tempreature between the eqautor and the pole)

b) Therefore, the surface pressure at the North pole during the spring equinox should be higher/lower than that of the south pole.

c) Recall that winds result from pressure gradients: larger difference in pressure between two locations will generate stronger winds. Therefore, during the spring equinox the westerlies in the Nothern hemisphere should be stronger/weaker than in the southern hemisphere.

Answer: a) During the spring equinox, the northern/southern hemisphere should have the largest temperature gradient (i.e the largest difference in tempreature between the eqautor and the pole)

During the spring equinox, A. the northern/southern hemisphere should have the largest temperature gradient.

What is the spring equinox?

At each equinox, the sun crosses Earth's equator, making night and day equal.

The spring equinox marks the period when the sun sits directly over the Earth's equator, heading northward.

During the spring equinox, the northern (winter completed) and southern (summer completed) hemispheres share the sun's rays equally at the equinox, because the night and day are equal lengths.

Thus, during the spring equinox, the northern/southern hemisphere should have the largest temperature gradient (i.e the largest difference in temperature between the equator and the pole).
