Global Winds and Jet Stream. Global Winds The trade winds blow from east to west in the tropical region. Westerly winds blow west to east in the temperate.

Wind the movement of air by differences in air pressure Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure Air moves in small circular patterns.

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

• At the poles (areas which receive less solar radiation), the air is cold and descends towards the equator through the lower layers of the atmosphere.

Global Winds Winds that blow over a long distance Caused by movement of air between equator and poles

The Coriolis Effect Deflection of winds due to rotation of the Earth Northern Hemisphere: to the right Southern Hemisphere: to the left

Latitude

Latitude The distance from the equator, measured in degrees. 30 N / S (near the tropic of Cancer/Capricorn) 60 N / S

Global Wind Belts Trade Winds Prevailing Westerly Polar Easterlies

Trade Winds Between the equator and 30 N & between the equator and 30 S Winds that sailors relied on for trade.

Prevailing Westerlies Between 30 & 60 N and between 30 & 60 S Play an important role in the weather of the United States.

Polar Easterlies Between 60 & 90 N and between 60 & 90 S. Affects weather changes in the United States.
