PPT-Global and Local Winds

i Winds are created by Heating the air decreases pressure warm air rises creating a low pressure Cool air rushes into replace the warm air cooler dense air produces high pressure. Mrs. Wharton’s Science Class. Wind. The horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure.. All winds are caused by differences in air pressure. Differences of air pressure are caused by unequal heat . Remember…. Local means the area around a particular location. . We learned that wind forms because of uneven heating on Earths surface and air pressure. . Sea Breezes. Sea breezes occur near shorelines. . Weather Text Goes Here – Remember to hit the hazards as well as what will happen. 700 pm. Western Valleys & Mountains. In the valleys – Sustained winds 20 to 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph through mid-evening.. Objective.

Category 5? typical gusts over open flat land of more than 280km/h. These winds correspond to the highest category on the Beaufort Scale. Extremely dangerous with widespread destruction. One of the What causes wind? . Caused by a difference in air pressure due to. unequal heating of the atmosphere.. Winds are created by. ….. • . Heating the air, decreases pressure (warm. air rises creating a low pressure). Global . Winds. - A . current. is a flow of air or water in a certain direction.. Global . Winds. Winds move from areas of . high. pressure to . low. pressure.. You might expect them to move straight from the poles (high pressure) to the equator (low pressure)but…. Ryan Rykaczewski. University of South Carolina. ryk@sc.edu. John Dunne, Bill Sydeman, Marisol García-Reyes, Bryan Black, Steven Bograd, and Riley Brady. Relevant hypotheses describing future nutrient supply. Local winds are caused by the movement of air between low-pressure and high-pressure systems within small areas. As there are so many different types of winds, each one takes on a unique form. Local winds frequently have a significant impact on climate in local regions, so it is critical to understand what causes them..
