wind – air that moves horizontally
3
convection cell – a pattern of rising and falling air, sinking air, and winds caused by unequal heating and cooling of the air

6
sea breeze – a wind that blows from the sea toward the land
7
sea breeze – a wind that blows from the sea toward the land
8
land breeze – a wind that blows from the land toward the sea
9
sea breezes vs. land breezes
10
Coriolis effect – no matter which way the wind blows, it will always pull toward the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in southern hemisphere.
