Answer:

Trade, Westerlies, Polar is the right order of the prevailing winds from the Equator toward the North Pole.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is not correct because the polar winds are not the closest to the Equator.

B is not correct because all of the three prevailing wind patterns are not in their place.

C is correct because the Trade winds dominate the Equatorial region, the Westerlies dominate the mid-latitudes, and the Polar ones dominate the North Pole and its surroundings.

D is not correct because the Polar winds and Westerlies have their places switched.

Answer:

Cold, High Pressure Air + Hot, Low Pressure Air = Storms

Step-by-step explanation:

A is not correct because hot temperatures occur when the air is hot and the air pressure low.

B is not correct because cold temperatures occur when the air is cold and the air pressure is high.

C is correct because when these two collide we have the occurrence of very strong winds, condensation of a huge amount of water, or in other words storms.

D is not correct despite the occurrence of wind, as there are other things that happen as well.
