Global Wind Patterns. Remember… When we talked about air pressure we said that cold air sinks and warm air rises. This movement causes air to move.

What causes wind? The uneven heating of Earth’s surface by the sun causes temperature differences in air. Warm air rises, creating areas of low pressure.

Winds Chapter 2, Section 3 p What causes wind? Wind: The horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure.

 Air Pressure – the weight of the gases in the atmosphere pushing on the surface of the Earth.

The Coriolis Effect Northern Hemisphere – objects appear to deflect to the right or clockwise. Southern Hemisphere - objects appear to deflect to the left or counter-clockwise. This is kinda cool, but it’s actually fake.

Why do we have the Coriolis Effect? Lookie here for a visual Different latitudes on earth spin at different speeds. When a moving object leaves the surface of the earth, it keeps the speed of its departure spot. When it changes latitudes, it is no longer traveling at the same speed as the ground beneath it, so when it lands, it appears to have a path curved to the right or the left.
