Do you know your Winds? Raise your hand and no foldables!

What creates wind? Differences in air pressure

What causes the differences in air pressure? Uneven heating of the Earth’s surface

What two types or categories of winds are there? Global winds & Local winds

What wind am I? I’m found in the UPPER troposphere & LOWER stratosphere I am narrow belts of high speed winds My winds blow at over 300 mph I am important to pilots and weather people I AM THE JET STREAM

What wind am I? 1.How do you know that... Explain it! 2.Can you explain WHY this is happening? LAND BREEZE

What wind am I? I’m in an area of high pressure I’m found along the 30 0 North and 30 0 South latitudes I am weak! I am named for letting the Pony’s frolic in the oceans I AM THE HORSE LATITUDES

What wind am I? 1.How do you know that... Explain it! 2.Can you explain WHY this is happening? MOUNTAIN BREEZE

What wind am I? I AM THE POLAR EASTERLIES

What wind am I? I start in the WEST and blow EAST. I’m found between the 30 0 and 60 0 latitudes in both hemispheres I helped traders RETURN to Europe. You live in my wind belt!!! I AM THE WESTERLIES

What wind am I? 1.How do you know that... Explain it! 2.Can you explain WHY this is happening? SEA BREEZE

What wind am I? I am found in an area of low pressure. I am found near the equator. I don’t have a lot of energy – so very little wind. My name means “Foolish” & sailors avoided me! I AM THE DOLDRUMS

What wind am I? 1.How do you know that... Explain it! 2.Can you explain WHY this is happening? VALLEY BREEZE

What wind am I? I AM THE TRADE WINDS

I start in the EAST and blow WEST. (NE to SW) I am cold. I am found between the POLES and 60 0 latitudes in both hemispheres I AM THE POLAR EASTERLIES

Why don’t the winds blow in a straight line? The Coriolis Effect

What wind am I? I start in the EAST and blow WEST. I blow from 30 0 to the equator in both hemispheres. I was used by early traders to sail from Europe to the Americas. I AM THE TRADE WINDS

What wind am I? I AM THE DOLDRUMS
