PPT-Global Winds : How global winds affect weather patterns

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 pressurebut. 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 . Chapter 2.2 Guided Notes. What is Weather?. Weather is the condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place.. What is Wind. ?. Wind is air moving across the surface of the Earth. It can move horizontally or parallel to the ground.. Chapter 19. Result of intense convection. Associated . with . heating Earth’s surface. During spring, summer, and fall. Three-stage life cycle:. Beginning stage– formation of cumulus cloud. Rapid heating during day, warm air rises. i. 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). Earth/Space. S.W.B.A.T.. Explain why Earth receives different amounts of solar energy at different latitudes. Discuss the . Coriolis. effect. Identify and locate the doldrums, trade winds, prevailing . 5.3. Pages 164-169. . How do global patterns affect local weather?. Patterns that affect temperature. . Temperature is affected by . latitude. , . altitude. , . distance from large bodies of water. Chapter 2.2 Guided Notes. What is Weather?. Weather is the condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place.. What is Wind. ?. Wind is air moving across the surface of the Earth. It can move horizontally or parallel to the ground.. Unit 5: Sixth Grade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBqohRu2RRk. https://games.ciconline.org/windward/content/sailing.html#record. Windward Online Sailing around the world game. Whooosh. !!!!!. When you open the valve on a bicycle tube, the air rushes out.. The movement of air in a horizontal direction. What is wind?. The uneven heating of the Earth causes differences in air pressure.. What causes wind?. The Sun’s energy is more concentrated at the Equator and spread out more over the poles.. 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). © U.S. Coast Guard . Auxiliary Association. No attempts to add, modify or delete information contained within this document shall be made.

What HEATS EARTH’S SURFACE?. Heat from the sun heats the surface of the Earth.. This heat arrives to Earth in the form of radiation.. Mississippi State Objective:. 4c. Describe the causes and effects of heat transfer as it relates to the circulation of ocean currents, atmospheric movement, and global wind patterns (e.g., trade winds and the jet stream). Provide examples of how these global patterns can affect local weather..
