the passage below describes the conditions in northern and central africa on that day. use the information from the maps to complete the passage.
cooler more warmer dry less humid
the map of air temperature shows that the air above central africa was than the air above northern africa. the map of specific humidity shows that the air above central africa was compared to the air above northern africa. the higher specific humidity levels above central africa are due to overall evaporation in the tropical forests of central africa than in the deserts of northern africa.
Analyze the air - temperature and specific - humidity maps. Central Africa is closer to the equator. Generally, areas near the equator are warmer. The color scale for specific humidity shows central Africa has higher values, meaning it is more humid. Higher evaporation in tropical forests (central Africa) compared to deserts (northern Africa) leads to more humidity.
