1 1._____what is caused by the tilt of the Earth (seasons) 2.____ thin wispy clouds made of ice found at high altitudes (clouds) 3._____curving of wind due to Earth’s rotation (wind) 4._____warm air rises and cool air sinks (atm heating) 5._____changes from a water vapor to a liquid (water cycle) RAP

2 Key Questions 1. What are global winds? 2. What are trade winds? 3. What are the westerlies? 4. What are the polar easterlies? 5. What is the jet stream? 6. What are the doldrums? 7. What are the horse latitudes?

3 Answers to Key Questions 1. Global winds are steady winds that travel long distances and in specific directions. 2. Trade winds blow from east to west between 30 degrees north and south latitude to the equator. 3. Westerlies=(USA is in this wind belt) blow from west to east between 30 and 60 degrees in both hemispheres.

4 4. Polar easterlies Blow from east to west Blow from the poles at 60 degrees in both hemispheres 5. Jet Stream-high altitude fast moving winds

5 6. Doldrums NO WIND at 0 degrees latitude (equator) 7.Horse Latitudes NO WIND at 30 degrees north and south latitudes.
