Winds may be named for their location or from the direction from which they blow. Which winds blow from 30 N or 30 S latitude to the equator?
Trade winds
Westerlies
Easterlies
The doldrums
Air circulates in Earth’s atmosphere. What is the fundamental cause of air circulation in Earth’s atmosphere?
Ocean currents
Earths gravity
Energy from the sun
Earths magnetic field
Which statement describes the general pattern of winds near the equator?
Winds are generally weak because the equator is a region of mostly low air pressure.
Winds are generally strong because the equator is a region of mostly high air pressure
Winds are generally weak because the equator is a region where low and high air pressure atmospheric bands come together.
Winds are generally strong because the equator is a region where low and high air pressure atmospheric bands come together.
The atmosphere exerts a force (pressure) on Earth. Why does the atmosphere exert pressure on Earth?
because of the pull of Earth’s gravity on air molecules
because of electromagnetic radiation from outer space
because of the effect of the ozone layer on solar radiation
because of the effect of greenhouse gases on heat radiating from Earth
The wind in a certain area is blowing from east to west. Which conclusion is most supported by this fact?
The west is experiencing higher air pressure than the east.
The west is experiencing lower air pressure than the east.
The west is experiencing lower air temperature than the east.
The west is experiencing higher air temperature than the east.
Open ended question to study for:
What causes wind on Earth?
Study this:
Circulation in Earth’s atmosphere helps to cycle matter, such as dust and water. Wind also contributes to the flow of energy by providing the kinetic energy to move matter, while also providing the mechanism to transfer thermal energy from the sun between locations on Earth's surface.

Hopefully i get it right in the test
IM SO TIRED AND STRESSED!
I don't wanna do this!
Idk how I feel
Identify which direction the wind will blow. Describe why the wind blows in that direction.
Possible question: What happens to density when particles are close together?
(a)
Question to study for:
Air rising and sinking in Earth's atmosphere forms a pattern of smaller convection cells. These convection cells create both high-pressure belts and low-pressure belts. Where in the diagram shown here the high-pressure belts located?
G,E,A,F
