Conveyer Belt Model

Question 1

Describe the flow of the warm conveyer belt

Answer 1

The warm conveyer belt originates near the surface in the warm section and flows up the frontal surface. This leads to adiabatic cooling and thus condensation and large band of cloud cover

Question 2

Describe the flow of the cold conveyer belt

Answer 2

Flows towards the center of low pressure. Rises and forms clusters of clouds

Question 3

Describe the flow of the dry conveyer belt

Answer 3

Flows in the upper troposphere. It brings the coldest air into cyclones and separates warm and cold convert belts with a band of cloud free area
