• Air pollution

• Global warming

• Rotation of the Earth

What causes global winds?

• Uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun

• The rotation of the Earth

• The gravitational pull of the moon

What is Wind?

• The increased cooling that a wind can cause.

• Cold air blowing away from the poles from East to West.

• Movement of air parallel to Earth’s surface; from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

At night, when land cools faster than water, warm air rises over the ocean, and cooler air flows in. This creates a __________.

• Land Breeze

• Trade Wind

• Sea Breeze

• Global Wind

During the day, land heats up faster than water causing air over the land to rise and expand. Denser ocean air moves into the area of low pressure producing a __________________.

• Land Breeze

• Global Wind

• Sea Breeze

• Trade Wind
