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.

Wind and the Coriolis Effect

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 1 Objective for the day  By the end of the day…  SWBAT identify global winds, and describe how they are caused by global convection currents.

Key Idea #15 The warming of the Earth by the sun produces winds and ocean currents.

Winds Wind is the horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. All winds are caused by differences in air.

What is wind and how do wind patterns form?

Air Movement (53) Areas of Earth receive different amounts of radiation from the Sun because Earth is curved.

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

Fact Statements.  Surface currents are mainly caused by prevailing winds.  Their flow is controlled by the winds, Earth’s rotation and location of the.

Winds Chapter 2 Section 3 Pages # What is wind? Air is a fluid = move easily from place to place Differences in air pressure cause the air to move.

Wind The movement of air.. What causes wind? Caused by: –Heat flow (difference in temperatures) –Pressure differences Cooler air is more dense than warm.

Unit 6: Meteorology Take out your ESRT 6.6 Prevailing Winds Unit 6: Meteorology Take out your ESRT March 7, 2012 Sanders

Prevailing Winds Compare Earth's prevailing winds, with the surface ocean currents depicted in the Earth Science Reference Tables. They normally move in the same direction. June 1, 2019 Unit 6: Meteorology

Winds and Ocean Surface Wind is a major factor in moving the surface waters of Earth's oceans. Like the prevailing winds, ocean currents also curve in response to the Coriolis Effect. June 1, 2019 Unit 6: Meteorology

Currents curve to the right of their original direction in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left of their original direction in the Southern Hemisphere. June 1, 2019 Unit 6: Meteorology

Prevailing Winds Winds blow in response to these changes. Surface winds are part of atmospheric convection currents that include a return flow high above Earth. The wind always blows from places of high pressure to places of lower pressure. June 1, 2019 Unit 6: Meteorology
