Wind

The Coriolis Effect is the deflection of circulating air due to the Earth's rotation, causing air to move to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Land breezes originate in the evening and blow toward the water.

Air moves from a high pressure area to a low pressure area.

Differences in air temperature are caused by landforms, which absorb and release heat differently.

The Doldrums are global winds that blow from east to west between 0 and 30 degrees latitude.

Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

The sun heats the Earth's surface unevenly, creating temperature differences that lead to air pressure differences and wind.

A sea breeze is a wind that blows from the sea to the land, typically occurring during the day when the land heats up faster than the water.

A land breeze is a wind that blows from the land to the sea, typically occurring at night when the land cools faster than the water.

Trade winds are steady winds that blow from east to west in the tropics, between 30 degrees latitude and the equator.
