Please help!! A research station is located at the foot of a mountain at 70 latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. The mountain is located between the station and an ocean. Several decades ago, scientists detected a significant drop in the amount of ozone in the stratosphere above the region; in recent years, however, levels of stratospheric ozone have returned to normal.

A.Describe the effect of latitude on the amount of sunlight the region receives. Describe how solar intensity will most likely affect the region’s average temperature during the summer and winter months. B. What kind of convection cell would be found over a region at this latitude? Describe one way in which this cell affects the movement of air through the region in which the station is located, and one way in which this mass movement of air likely affects the region’s climate. C.Describe two ways in which the region’s topography is likely to affect its climate. D. Describe two ways that the recent increase in stratospheric ozone decreases risks to people living in the research station.

@kym02 Can you help? I don't understand A, I understand B and C for the most part, and don't really know for D. For B I want to say its a hadley cell that would be in this area... work as warm air rises, and moves away to a region of low pressure. As the air moves away the air cools, becomes more dense and falls back to earth. As this air nears the ground it is heated again and moves towards the low pressure area caused by the rising air. For C I think the mountain would cause a rainshadow?? Or it would cause an orographic effect. For D, wouldn't the increase of the stratospheric ozone mean that it absorbs more UV rays? so then humans wouldn't have to worry about UV rays? And they wouldn't have to worry about exhaust from airplanes and stuff affecting the ozone layer as quickly?

I'm sorry but I never did this :(

Okay, thank you anyways :)
