6. 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.
