Name: _______________________ Block: ________ Date: __________ Description Large storm formed over warm water & must have winds blowing at at least 64 knots. Direction that a hurricane spins in the northern hemisphere. The latitude at which the two tropics are at. Corresponds also to the tilt of the earth's axis. Local wind that blows from land to the ocean during the night Sinking air located at 30 degrees latitude and the poles. Caused by the rotation of the earth, this seems to deflect objects moving above the earth's surface to the left or right. The horizontal movement of air in a convection current. Global winds that come from the Northeast or Southeast. A wind that only affects a small area. Global winds that are located between 30 degrees & 60 degrees latitude. A season-long local wind which results in a rainy season & a dry season. Global winds that would be found near the poles. Winter storm that brings high winds & precipitation. Vocabulary Area of high pressure & lack of winds at 30 degrees latitude. Rising air located the equator & at 60 degrees latitude. Local wind that comes from the sea, during the day Direction that objects seem to be deflected towards in the northern hemisphere. A large-scale local wind that is the equivalent of a sea breeze. The balancing of heat entering the atmosphere to heat escaping the atmosphere The vertical movement of air in a convection current. Direction that objects seem to be deflected towards in the southern hemisphere. Low pressure located at 60 degrees latitude. Place on earth that receives the most sunlight. Area of low pressure & lack of winds at the equator. A large-scale local wind that is the equivalent of a land breeze.
