The image depicts a diagram illustrating atmospheric circulation in the tropics and subtropics. At the center is the "Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone" also knowns as the ITCZ, near the Equator, characterized by a towering cumulus cloud labeled "Hot Tower." This cloud extends from above the surface to the top of the diagram, with upward pointing arrows indicating rising air. On either side of the 'Hot Tower,' smaller "Trade Cumulus" clouds are shown with arrows indicating upward air movement from the surface. Above the clouds is the "Tropopause," marked by a dashed line. Orange arrows depict air flow, showing air rising at the equator and diverging at the tropopause, moving toward the poles, then descending in the "Subtropical High Pressure Zone" in the subtropics. The base of the diagram is blue, indicating the ocean, and labeled with "Subtropics" on either side, and "Equator" in the center. "Trade Winds" arrows show horizontal surface winds moving toward the equator.

The image depicts a map with a polar projection, focusing on the Northern Hemisphere. The continents are shown in green against a blue background representing the oceans. A circular path, illustrated with yellow arrows start in Western Africa and move northeast in a spiraling motion circling the north pole. The arrows suggest a specific route around the Earth, crossing various continents and oceans. Black outlines border the yellow arrows, and meridians and parallels are slightly visible in the background, emphasizing the map's radial layout from the North Pole.

The image is a topographic map highlighting the region around the Tibetan Plateau, distinguished by its extensive white area representing snow or ice. The map is color-coded to display varying elevations, with green indicating lower elevations, brown representing higher elevations, and blue denoting bodies of water. Prominent features include the surrounding lower elevation regions in green and mountainous regions in brown. Black arrows traverse the map from west to east, indicating directional movement across the plateau and around the higher elevations.
