HELP PLEASE!!

1. Where is the sun's incoming solar radiation the strongest?

a) the South Pole
b) the North Pole
c) the midlatitudes
d) the equator

2. What is the term used to identify the calm region produced by converging trade winds?

a) westerlies
b) doldrums
c) horse latitudes
d) trade winds

3. Which way does the Coriolis effect deflect air in the Northern Hemisphere?

a) to the north
b) to the right
c) it does not deflect air
d) to the south

1. D is the answer. Sun's radiation hits the equator the hardest.

2. B. The definition of doldrums is a low activity period in time or area. So, that's your answer.

3. B. The Coriolis effect deflects air to the right in the northern hemisphere.

Hi there, Nicky :)
We'll start with the first one. The point of the Earth receiving the most incoming solar radiation is called he equator, located at zero degrees latitude, therefore the closer you get to zero degrees latitude, the warmer the area is.
For the next one, it's the doldrums. Many ships get stuck here, as the wind is very inconsistent, and it can stop the sails.
Lastly, in the northern hemisphere, air is deflected to the right. If you've ever seen a hurricane in the north, you'd notice it actually does spin to the right due to the Coriolanus Effect.
Hope this helps you!
