Chapter 24.3 Solar Energy and Winds

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.

Movement of Air in Earth’s Atmosphere. What is wind? The movement of air from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure. The movement of.

1.Rising warm air creates (high/low) pressure at the ground. 2.Cold air is (more/less) dense than warm air. 3.Wind always blows from _____ pressure to.

Heat Transfer and Winds. Heat is transferred in three ways Radiation Conduction Convection.

22.3 Atmospheric Circulation. It all starts with unequal heating of Earth that cause differences in pressure Warm air is less dense, rises and creates.

15-3 Atmospheric Pressure and Winds pgs IN: What causes winds?

Section 3: Atmospheric Circulation

Warm Up 1. If warm air rises, where on the Earth do you think this process would happen the most? 2. Rising warm air transports heat energy by Conduction.

Global Winds. Atmospheric Pressure  Wind is caused by differences in air pressure around earth’s surface.  Differences in air pressure are due to the.

Blow It Out! Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company What is wind? Wind is the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure.

Global and Local Winds. Why Air Moves Winds blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. The greater the pressure difference, the faster.

 Prevailing winds are major wind patterns that cover large geographical areas  In Ontario the prevailing wind direction is from the West  Prevailing.

Heating of the Earth. Temperature Layers of the Atmosphere.

Torricelli Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow air currents found in the upper troposphere. In meteorology, the polar front is the boundary.

Heating the Earth Weather is the daily conditions of the atmosphere The factors that interact to cause weather are heat energy, air pressure, winds, and.

The unequal heating of the Earth's Atmosphere and Surface CAUSES Changes in air pressure WHICH CAUSES WIND.

TOC: Winds I STARTER: Think back to the demos, does air move from low pressure to high pressure or the other way around?? Explain…..

DO NOW: Heat Transfer. What type of heat transfer is shown?

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.

EQ: What are Global Winds?

Global and Local Winds. What is Wind? The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure. These differences in air pressure are generally caused.

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

WIND SYSTEMS

Wind 1. Uneven heating of Earth’s surface 2. Convection cells 3 Wind 1. Uneven heating of Earth’s surface 2. Convection cells 3. Coriolis Effect 4. Air flows from high pressure to low pressure.

Coriolis Effect the curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth’s rotation.

High Pressure – high density cold air Low Pressure – low density warm air
