Write a hypothesis:

What causes the wind?

A jet stream is a band of fast moving wind that is high up in the atomosphere.

Jet Stream

Wind is air in motion.

It's produced by the uneven heating of Earth's surface​ by the sun.

Wind

Wind v. Jet Stream

Multiple Choice

How is wind produced?

• It's produced by the even heating of Earth's surface by the sun

• It's produced by the even cooling of Earth's surface

• It is produced by the uneven cooling of Earth's surface

• It's produced by the uneven heating of earth's surface by the sun

Multiple Choice

What is a jet stream?

• A band of fast moving wind that is high up in the atomosphere

• A band of slow moving wind that is high up in the atomosphere

• A band of fast moving wind that is low in the atomosphere

• A band of slow moving air that is low in the atmosphere

A high-pressure system is a mass of cool, dry air.

This type of system usually brings fair weather and light winds​

High Pressure

A low-pressure system is a mass of air that is warm and moist.

This type of system usually brings stormy weather with stong winds.​

Low Pressure

Low Pressure v High Pressure

fair weather = good weather

Multiple Choice

Low pressure systems are a mass of air that is

• cool and dry

• cool and moist

• warm and moist

• warm and dry

Multiple Choice

High pressure systems are a mass of...

• warm and moist air

• cool and dry air

Multiple Choice

Low pressure systems bring...

• Stormy weather

• Fair weather

Multiple Choice

High pressure systems bring...

• stormy weather

• fair weather

A sea breeze is wind that blows from the sea/ocean toward or onto the land.​

Sea Breeze

Land breezes occur at night when land cools faster than the sea, and blows from the land to the sea.​

Land Breeze

Land Breeze v. Sea Breeze

fair weather = good weather

Trade winds are winds blowing steadily toward the equator from an easterly direction.

​

​Some text here about the topic of discussion.

Trade Winds

Winds in the middle latitutes of the earth.

The winds blow:

West to East

Toward the poles​

​Some text here about the topic of discussion.

Prevailing Weaterlies

Winds that blow from the areas 30 degrees below each pole

​Some text here about the topic of discussion.

• poles

• equator

Multiple Choice

Prevailing westerlies blow...

• from east to west; towards the equator

Multiple Choice

Which of these actions causes wind?

• A rotation of Earth on its axis

• movement of air from water to land

• air passing earth as it revolves around the sun

• uneven heating of earth's surface
