1. do your own homework!!! read the textbook
2. ummm, we can't see the figures the questions are referring to.....
3. 1) Caribbean Sea 2) I didn't have the figure (sorry) 3) i didn't have the figure (im really sorry) 4) cP 5) an occluded front forms 6) warmer, less dense air 7) convergent and counterclockwise 8) tropics 9) tornado 10) 5 and 20 degrees 11) warmest temperatures 12) temperature and precipitation 13) humid tropical 14) California 15) Most precipitation falls during winter (I know you didn't put this one up, but I thought I'd give you the answer anyways.) 16) steppe 17) It compresses and warms. 18) polar 19) It increases the amount of solar radiation that is reflected into space. 20) small seasonal variations in temperature 21) water vapor 22) increased 23) global rise in sea level 24) Ocean temperatures will increase (umm i would check those answers just in case it's been a really long time since i have done anything with weather) Good luck hope i helped ^_^
