Winds
Local and Global winds
Local winds
Local winds are winds due to unequal heating of earth's surfaces. Sea breezes and Land breezes are good examples of Local winds. A sea breeze is when cool air from the ocean or sea gets blown to the land and blows up the warm air from the land. Land breezes are the opposite of sea breezes. The cool air from the land blows to the sea, and the sea's warm air comes to the land.
Global Winds
Global Winds are the wind belts around the earth caused by rays of the sun, this causes unequal heating over a large area. At the poles, Polar Easterlies occur, Polar Easterlies are wind belts around the poles that are at 60 degrees latitude, but they have no place to blow except the opposite way of whatever pole they are at. Next come the Prevailing Westerlies, these are another belt of winds that blow the opposite way of the Polar easterlies. Next, there are the Trade Winds, these winds practically trade winds, Trade winds from the south blow north, and trade winds from the north blow south. Finally, there are Doldrums, these winds are winds that are not really winds. They are located by the equator and the people who live there get almost no winds at all.
SOME OF OUR TOP WINDS
Land Breeze
Land breezes when the cool air from the land, blows the warm air from the sea to the land. This occurs at night.
Sea Breeze
Sea breezes occur in the day and are basically the opposite of Land breezes. It is when the warm air over the land to sea.
Doldrums
Doldrums are located at the equator and since they get direct sunlight and almost no wind at all .
Other Winds
Prevailing Westerlies
The Prevailing Westerlies are winds that blow toward the Polar Easterlies because of unequal heating. These are winds that blow west to east.
Trade Winds
Trade Winds are winds close the the equator. They are close but not there. These winds blow the opposite direction from where they come from.
