Question

data source: united states national oceanic and atmospheric administration/earth system research laboratory, physical sciences division. 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.

Explanation:

By observing the air - temperature map, central Africa has more red - colored regions indicating higher temperatures compared to northern Africa. From the specific humidity map, central Africa has higher specific humidity values (more greenish - colored regions) due to more evaporation in tropical forests compared to deserts in northern Africa.

Answer:

The map of air temperature shows that the air above central Africa was warmer than the air above northern Africa. The map of specific humidity shows that the air above central Africa was more humid compared to the air above northern Africa. The higher specific humidity levels above central Africa are due to more overall evaporation in the tropical forests of central Africa than in the deserts of northern Africa.
