Air rises at the equator and sinks at the poles The equator receives more direct sun than other areas so the air is less dense and rises to create low.

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

Key Questions What are global winds? What causes global winds? What are pressure belts? What are trade winds? What are the westerlies? What are the polar easterlies? What are the doldrums? What are the horse latitudes? What are jet streams?

1) What are Global Winds? Steady winds that travel long distances and in specific directions.

2) What causes global winds? Differences in temperature – more heat at equator.

3) What are pressure belts? Belts of high and low pressure found every 30 degrees.

4) What are Trade Winds? They blow from east to west towards the equator. Between 30 degrees north and south latitude to the equator.

5) What are the Westerlies? Blow from west to east towards the poles. Between 30 and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. US is in this wind belt.

6) What are the Polar Easterlies? Blow from east to west from the poles. Blow from the poles to 60 degrees in both hemispheres.

7) What are Doldrums? Very little wind between 5 degrees north latitude and 5 degrees south latitude. (Equator) The trade winds collide and move directly upward.

8) What are Horse Latitudes? VERY WEAK WIND at 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south latitudes. (Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn)

9) What are jet streams? Narrow belts of high speed winds above the global winds.
