Presentation transcript:

 The horizontal movement of air caused by the uneven heating of the Earths surface

 A shift in path of an object caused by the rotation of the Earth ◦ Northern hemisphere: wind deflected to the right ◦ Southern hemisphere: wind deflected to the left ◦ ns/es1904/es1904page01.cfm ns/es1904/es1904page01.cfm

 Convection currents caused by the heating of the Earth

 Winds that blow from east to west near the equator

 Areas where there is little wind at the equator

 Winds that blow from west to east at mid latitudes

 Areas of little wind at mid latitudes

 Winds that blow east to west near the poles ◦  Jet Stream: a narrow band of fast moving air
