Correct Transcript:

In the Northern Hemisphere, objects mounting across or above the surface of the Earth tend to turn to the right because of the coriolis effect. As a result, large-scale historical flows of air or water tend to form clockwise turning gyres. These are best seen in ocean connection patterns in the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. For the same response, flows of air down toward the northern surface of the Earth tend to spread across the surface in a clockwise preparation. Thus, clockwise air circulation is characteristic of high punctual weather cells in the Northern Hemisphere.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "moving", the speaker says "mounting"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "objects mounting across". They share the same first letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "horizontal", the speaker says "historical"

Explanation: The speaker says "large-scale historical flows", not "horizontal". Both words start with c, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "circulation", the speaker says "connection"

Explanation: Listen for "ocean connection patterns". Both words begin with c, so listen to the end of the word.

Printed "reason", the speaker says "response"

Explanation: You will hear "For the same response". They start with the same letter, but the endings differ, so check the ending.

Printed "pattern", the speaker says "preparation"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "in a clockwise preparation". The spoken word is much longer than the printed one, so listen for the extra part.

Printed "pressure", the speaker says "punctual"

Explanation: Listen again to "high punctual weather". They start with the same letter, so listen to the ending.

"coriolis" matches the audio

Explanation: "because of the coriolis effect" looks like a tricky scientific name. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"gyres" matches the audio

Explanation: "clockwise turning gyres" has an uncommon word next to the changed word. It matches the audio exactly, so do not click it.
