Convection
Winds occur because hot air rises and cool air sinks in a process called:
conduction
convection
radiation
magnetism

high, high
low, low
low, high
high, low
Wind is caused by convection currents due to:
Too much Taco Bell
Differences in elevation
The uneven heating of the Earth by the sun
The currents in the ocean
Which heats up and cools more quickly?
Land
Water (Oceans)
They heat and cool equally
The Coriolis Effect is caused by what?

Identify the two (2) areas where you would find the polar easterlies.
Identify the two (2) areas where you would find the trade winds.
Identify the two (2) areas where you would find the westerlies.
The Equator receives the most direct sunlight and therefore has the warmest air. What type of air pressure would be found there?
High Pressure
Low Pressure
The Poles receives the least direct sunlight and therefore have the coldest air. What type of air pressure would be found there?
High Pressure
Low Pressure
The sun's rays strikes the Earth most directly
near the poles
near the equator
at high altitudes
far from the ocean
In the diagram shown, the red arrows represent warm moist air near the equator. That warm air rises because
the Coriolis effect moves it
it is pushed by the trade winds
it is more dense
it is less dense
