1. During sea breeze (day) the land is _________ and the sea is _________.During Land breeze (night) the land is _________ and the sea is _________. Low pressure High pressure Low pressure High pressure

2. What happen to the cold air and warm air in land and sea breeze?

3. What is convection current? Fluid mean either liquid or gas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--faa2w_NJo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--faa2w_NJo Convection current is the transfer of heat energy through a fluid due to gravity.

4. Where do the cold and warm air come from? Pole-cold Cold-down Equator-warm Warm-Up Cold-down Pole-cold http://coepmagazine.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/untitled.jpg

5. What is the Coriolis Effect? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcPs_OdQOYU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcPs_OdQOYU Coriolis Effect- Northern Hemisphere wind curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere wind curves them left.

5. What is the Coriolis Effect? Because the Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect. http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/kits/currents/05currents1.html Coriolis Effect- Northern Hemisphere wind curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere wind curves them left.

5. What is the Coriolis Effect? If the Earth did not rotate on its axis, the atmosphere would only circulate between the poles and the equator in a simple back-and-forth pattern. http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/kits/currents/05currents1.html Coriolis Effect- Northern Hemisphere wind curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere wind curves them left.

Types of wind - synonyms or related words Airstream-  wind, especially one blowing high in the sky berg wind-  South Africa, a hot dry wind that blows from the center of the country towards the southern coasts Breeze-  light wind Crosswind-  wind that blows across the direction that you are traveling in dust devil-  small whirlwind (=strong circular wind) that is common in hot dry parts of the U.S.. Dust devils are much smaller than tornadoes and do not usually cause damage. Easterly-  wind that blows from the east Gale-  very strong wind Gust-  sudden strong wind Headwind-  wind that blows in the opposite direction to the one in which you are moving jet stream-  powerful wind current in the air above the Earth Mistral-  cold, dry wind from the north that is common in the south of France Monsoon- the wind that causes a monsoon prevailing wind-  wind that blows in a particular area at a particular time of year Sandstorm-  strong wind in the desert that blows clouds of sand in the air sea breeze-  gentle wind that blows from the ocean onto the land Sirocco-  hot wind that begins in the Sahara and moves across the Mediterranean, often bringing dust Southwester-  strong wind or storm that is moving in a southwest direction tail wind-  wind that blows in the same direction in which a vehicle is moving Tornado-  very strong wind that goes quickly around in a circle or funnel trade wind-  wind that blows continuously toward the equator (=the imaginary line around the middle of the Earth) Turbulence- sudden violent movements of air or water Twister-  a tornado Typhoon-  tropical storm with strong winds that move in circles Whirlwind-  very powerful dangerous wind that spins extremely fast, carrying away anything in its path Wind-  natural current of air that moves fast enough for you to feel it Windstorm-  period of bad weather when there is a lot of wind but no rain Zephyr-a gentle wind http://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/thesaurus-category/american/types-of-wind
