 Caused by... uneven heating of the Earth’s surface  Winds are named by the direction they blow from.  Direction indicated by... wind vane  Speed measured with... anemometer

 Increased cooling caused by wind.

 Sea Breeze  Land Breeze

 Winds that blow steadily from a specific direction over long distances.  Caused by... Uneven heating Where is there uneven heating on a large scale?

 The change that Earth’s rotation causes in the motion of objects and that explains how the winds curve.

 The Westerlies  Why are they called the Westerlies?  They blow from the west.
