What winds are caused by!?
Winds are caused by unequal heating of the different atmospheric pressure. This means when a different atmospheric pressure exist.
Local winds
Local winds travel in small areas. They change directions and speed very. You can always feel them on the ground
How are local winds created
Local winds are caused by unequal heatings of the earths surface
How sea breezes blow
The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze. That is how it happens ( that was a breeze)
How land breezes blow
The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze
What are global winds
Global winds are winds that move in large areas
How area global winds created!!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!??!??!
Global winds are created by the cause by the uneven heating of Earth's surface, which sets convection currents in motion.
Horse latitudes definition
Horse latitudes are latitudes between 30 and 38 degrees both north and south where Earth's atmosphere is.
Trade winds
a trade wind is blowing wind steadily toward the equator from the northeast in the northern hemisphere or the southeast in the southern hemisphere, especially at sea.
Prevailing westerlies
Prevailing Westerlies are the winds in the middle latitudes between 35 and 65 degrees latitude. They blow from the high pressure area in the horse latitudes towards the poles.
Prevailing easterlies
The polar easterlies are the dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the north and south poles towards low-pressure areas within the Westerlies at high latitudes.
Jet streams
A very strong, predominantly westerly air currents encircling the globe several miles above the earth. There are typically two or three jet streams in each of the northern and southern hemispheres
