Global Wind Patterns. Remember… When we talked about air pressure we said that cold air sinks and warm air rises. This movement causes air to move.

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.

2. no

3.Why does the wind blow? (storms make wind, gravity differences, waves, uneven heating) 4.What causes moving objects in the Northern Hemisphere to turn right? 5.The Answer in #4 occurs due to Earth’s (gravity, distance from the Sun, rotation, tides) 6.A low pressure system rotates (clockwise, counterclockwise) 7.All storms are (high, low) pressure systems.

3. Uneven heating
