In the arctic circle in the winter, extremely cold air at the surface will result in relatively

a. strong winds
b. high surface pressure
c. low air density
d. weak winds

A. strong winds

Explanation:

A polar vortex is a low-pressure area (a wide expanse of swirling, upper-level, strong cold air) that is parked in polar regions. During winter, the polar vortex at the North Pole expands, sending cold air southward, the cooling temperatures force the vertical layer of air within the vortex to shrink because it gets denser.

Considering this information we can conclude the correct answer is strong winds because polar vortex presents low pressure and higher density.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

answer conditional instability;

hi there!

the answer you are looking for is relatively steep.

have a nice day!
