Wind and Weather Patterns

Global winds appear to curve due to the:

• Weather

• Wind

• Coriolis Effect

• Climate

The Tropical Zone is from:

• 0- 30 Degrees Latitude

• 0- 30 Degrees Longitude

• 30-60 Degrees Latitude

• 60-90 Longitude

Temperate Zone can be found

• 30-60 Degrees Latitude

• 30-60 Degrees Longitude

• 60-90 Latitude

• 0-30 Degrees Latitude

Trade Winds blow from East to West and are located in ________.

• Tropical Zone

• Temperate Zone

• Polar Zone

• Frigid

Westerlies blow from West to East and are found in ________.

• Tropical Zone

• Temperate Zone

• Rainforest Zone

• Polar Zone

Convection is ______.

• warm air rising and cold air loweringconvection

• cold air rising

• hot air lowering

• cool aircon

What latitude do the Trade Winds blow at?

• 0-30

• 60-30

• 0-60

• 0-0 along the equator

What is the Coriolis Effect?

• pattern of ocean currents due to water temperature

• the fast winds in the upper troposphere

• the curved pattern of winds because of the earth's rotation

• rising of warm air and sinking of cold air

How does latitude affect climate?

• The closer to the equator the colder the climate

• High latitude means colder climate. Low latitude means a hotter climate.

• Latitude doesn't affect climate

• The bigger latitude you have, the hotter the climate will be.

Hadley's model explains that air circulates around the planet through a system of...

• channels

• convection cells

• currents

• weather fronts
