Coriolis. Effect. Air pressure differences cause the movement of air. Air moving parallel to the ground is called . wind. Air moving up or down is called a . current. Air generally moves from the poles to the equator, . The Atmosphere& Weather (Part 2). CHAPTER. Air Pressure & Wind. What is air pressure?. Air (Atmospheric) Pressure: the _______ exerted by the _____________________ above it. Force. Weight of the Air. The Caribbean: Physical Environment. Climate in nice most of the year, although rainy from May to November. Trade winds – blow from east across the Atlantic Ocean and have a pleasant cooling effect.

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). 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.. Effects on Climate. Weather – changes in temperature, wind, air, etc. over a short period of time. Climate – weather patterns in a particular area over many years.. The sun’s rays do not hit the Earth evenly. So air and water help distribute the sun’s heat over the entire world.. Warm-up What is weather?

What Is Wind?. Wind: Is air moving across the surface of the Earth. Wind occurs because sunlight heats the earth’s atmosphere and surface unevenly.. Wind is the movement . of air caused by an uneven heating of the Earth’s . surface.. 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.. 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…. 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..
