What is Wind?
The movement of clouds caused by simularities in air pressure
The movement of air caused by simularities in air pressure
The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
The movement of dust caused by differences in air pressure
What are Jet Streams?
Narrow belts of high-speed winds that blow from east to west between 7km and 16km above Earth's surface
Narrow belts of high-speed winds that blow from west to east, between 7km and 16km above Earth's surface
The movement of air over short distances that can blow from any direction, depending on features of the area
The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth's rotation
What is the Coriolis Effect?
The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth's rotation
The movement of air over short distances that can blow from any direction, depending on the features of the area
Narrow belts of high-speed winds that blow from west to east, between 7km and 16km above Earth's surface
What are Global Winds
When wind blows south
When wind blows east
Wind systems that occur far away from Earth's surface
Wind systems that occur at or near the Earth's surface
What are Local Winds?
Wind that spirals in a circular motion
Wind systems that occur at or near the Earth's surface
The movement of air over short distances that can blow from any direction, depending on the features of the area
The movement of air over long distances that can only blow from one direction
Cool Air Sinks Because it is Denser and Causes an Area of High Pressure
True
False
What are Convection Cells?
The place in which air, instead of moving in one circle between the equator and the poles, air moves in smaller circular patterns
The place in which water cools down
The place in which water warms up
The place in which there is only high pressure
Example(s) of Global Winds could Include....
Polar Easterlies
Westerlies
Trade Winds
What are Polar Easterlies?
Winds on the top and bottom of the Earth and blow between the poles by 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres ( Also curve to the east )
Winds on the top and bottom of the Earth and blow between the poles by 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres ( Also curve to the west )
Winds between 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres ( Also curve to the east )
Winds that blow between 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres
Westerlies are Winds that Blow Between 30 Degrees and 60 Degrees Latitude in Both Hemispheres
True
False
Trade Winds Blow Between 30 Degrees Latitude and the Equator in Both Hemisphere
True
False
What Does Doldrum Mean?
Fast/Rapid
Curvy
Dull/Sluggish
What is a Horse Latitude?
Where the air starts moving at 30 degrees latitude and rises
Where the air stops moving at 30 degrees latitude and sinks
Where trade winds in both hemispheres meet in a calm area around the equator
What is a Doldrum?
Where trade winds in both hemispheres meet in a calm area around the equator
Where trade winds in both hemispheres meet in a rapid area around the equator
What are Examples of Local Winds?
Sea Breezes
Tree Breezes
Land Breezes
What is a Sea Breeze?
When during the day, the air above the land becomes warmer than the air above water, so that the colder, denser air over the water flows towards the land and pushes the warm air on the land upward.
When at night, the cooler air on land causes a higher pressure zone over the land, which makes wind blow from the land up towards the water.
What is a Land Breeze?
When at night, the cooler air on land causes a higher-pressure zone over the land, which makes wind blow from the land towards the water.
When during the day, the air above the land becomes warmer than the air above water, so that the colder, denser air over the water flows towards the land and pushes the warm air on the land upward.
What is a Valley Breeze?
At nightfall, the air along the mountain slopes cool and move into the valley
During the day, the sun warms the air along the mountain slopes faster than the air in the valleys, which results in uneven heating and air pressure.
What is a Mountain Breeze?
During the day, the sun warms the air along the mountain slopes faster than the air in the valleys, which results in uneven heating and air pressure.
At nightfall, the air along the mountain slopes cool and move up into the valley
