Why Air Moves Wind-movement of air caused by
differences in air pressure Greater pressure difference=faster wind

Air Rises at the Equator and Sinks at the Poles Differences in air pressure are generally
caused by unequal heating of the Earth. Equator
Receives more direct solar energy Air is warmer and less dense Warm air rises and creates low
pressure area Warm air flows to poles

Air Rises at the Equator and Air Sinks at the Poles, cont’d Poles
Air is cooler and more dense Cold air sinks Creates high pressure area Cold air flows toward equator
AIR Moves from H to L !!!

Pressure Belts Are Found Every 30 Degrees Pressure belts-bands of high pressure
and low pressure found every 30 latitude.
Sinking air causes areas of high pressure because sinking air presses down on the air beneath it.

The Coriolis EffectApparent curving
of the path of winds and ocean currents due to the Earth’s rotation.
North- winds going north curve east
South- winds going south curve west

Global Winds Patterns of air circulation Named from direction from which they
blow Major global wind systems
Polar easterlies Prevailing Westerlies Trade winds

Polar Easterlies Poles to 60 latitude in both hemispheres Cold, dense air moves from poles to 60 Can bring cold air to US making snow
and freezing weather
![Page 14: Please take out your Skills WS and check your work with a desk partner. Be ready to ask any questions on 15.2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649f345503460f94c5179b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Prevailing Westerlies 30 and 60 latitude in both hemispheres Flow from west to east Can bring moist air to US making rain
and snow
![Page 15: Please take out your Skills WS and check your work with a desk partner. Be ready to ask any questions on 15.2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649f345503460f94c5179b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Trade Winds 30 latitude almost to equator in both
hemispheres Due to Coriolis-curve to west in N.
Hemisphere and east in S. Hemisphere Traders used winds to move from
Europe to Americas.

Doldrums•located where the trade winds of the two hemispheres meet at the equator• means “dull” or “sluggish”•an area of Low pressure

The Horse Latitudes 30 north and south latitude Very weak winds

Jet Stream: Atmospheric Conveyor Belts Narrow belts of high speed winds Blow in the upper troposphere and lower
stratosphere Can affect movement of storms and
airplane flights

Local Winds Move short distances Blow from any direction Caused by temperature differences Sea breeze moves from sea to land Land breeze moves from land to sea

How does wind blow? Wind will flow from high to low!!!
![Page 22: Please take out your Skills WS and check your work with a desk partner. Be ready to ask any questions on 15.2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649f345503460f94c5179b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Wrapping it up What role does the Sun play?
Sun heats the land and water, changing temperatures
Different heating causes density differences, causing wind!
UNEQUAL HEATING CAUSES THE WIND!

Temperature of Coast vs. Inland Avg temperature Atlanta: low-23 to 51:
28 degree difference for January Avg temp. for Savannah: low-38 to 60:
22 degree difference Avg for July: Atlanta-88
Savannah- 92 Why is Savannah warmer?
Gulf Stream runs by it and there is a constant breeze blowing near the ocean
Lower temp range on coast

Temperature of Coast vs. Inland Coastal areas don’t get as warm or as
cold as inland areas because it has the ocean to moderate their temperatures.
