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
