What causes differences in air pressure

Unequal heating of the Earth

The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure is called

Wind

Air is warmer in Lestan Spence routing air at the equator because the equator receives more

Solar energy

As air at the polls is colder and denser than surrounding air it

Sinks

High pressure areas are Created around the poles as cold air

Sinks

After high pressure areas are created around the Called polar air

The equator

Large circular patterns of air movement are called

Convection cells

Bands of high-pressure and low-pressure found every 30� of latitude are called

Pressure belts

When the paths of wind and ocean currents seem to curve because of the earths rotation it's called the

Coriolis effect

When's that blow from 30� latitude in both hemispheres almost to the equator are called

Trade winds

The area around the equator where tradewinds meet are called

Doldrums

When formed as cold sinking air moves from the polls to 60� north and 60� South latitude

Polar easterlies

When belts that extend between 30� and 60� latitude in both hemispheres are called

Prevailing westerly's

Area in which sinking air create high pressure and we Quinn's at about 30� north and 30� South latitude are called

Horse latitudes

Narrow belts of high-speed wins in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere are called

Jet streams

Which of the following are local winds

Mountain breezes
