🔍 Key Concepts

• diurnal pressure variation in the tropics/low latitudes • the typical two high and two low pattern of atmospheric pressure in a 24‑hour period near the equator • the local solar time relationship between pressure highs and lows

💭 Think About

• First, recall whether diurnal pressure in low latitudes has one maximum per day or two. That will immediately eliminate some choices. • Think about how the Sun’s heating affects the atmosphere: does maximum surface heating (around local noon) line up exactly with the pressure maximum, or does the pressure high tend to occur before/after peak heating? • Compare the given times to a symmetrical pattern over 24 hours. Which option best represents two highs that are roughly 12 hours apart?

✅ Before You Answer

• Decide if there are one or two daily highs in low-latitude diurnal pressure—this narrows the choices. • Check which option (if any) shows two highs about 12 hours apart in local solar time. • Verify that the chosen times look plausibly offset from the period of strongest surface heating (noon).
