Wind: Sea Breeze and Land Breeze. EnergyTransfer in the Atmosphere Energy moves through the atmosphere in three different ways-conduction, convection.

Winds Difference in air pressure Horizontal movement of air

Ch Winds. Low air pressure at the equator, due to the constant rising of heated air. Low air pressure at the equator, due to the constant rising.

Wind The horizontal movement of air. Warm air rises and cold air sinks. Temperature Differences High and Low pressure like to balance out. Pressure Difference.

Breezes and Monsoons

Current vs Wind Currents moves up and down Wind moves horizontally

Breeze Gentle local winds Caused by uneven heating on land and water

Faster or Slower Land heats and cools fast Water heats and cools slowly Changes occur from daytime to evening

Hot and Cold Warm air Is light It rises Is low pressure

Hot and Cold Cold air Is heavy It sinks Is high pressure

Sea Breeze Occurs during the daytime From the Sea to land Water is cooler than land Moves from H to L

Land Breeze Occurs during the evening From the Land to sea Water is warmer than land Moves from H to L

Mountain Breeze Occurs during the evening From the mountain to valley Mountain is cooler than the valley Moves from H to L

Valley Breeze Occurs during the daytime From the valley to the mountain Mountain is warmer than the valley Moves from H to L

Monsoons and Droughts Changes based on season Found in India and Southeast Asia

Monsoons and Droughts Summer Land is hot (L) Water is cool (H) Moves from H to L Wet season (monsoons)

Monsoons and Droughts Winter Water is warm (L) Land is cool (H) Moves from H to L Dry season
