Winds Wind – horizontal movement of air from an area of ________ pressure to an area of ________ pressure - winds are caused by differences in ___________________ Wind Chill – the increased ____________ that wind causes Wind direction is measured with a ____________________ and wind speed is measured with an ___________________. Global Wind Belts are result of large scale convection currents and the coriolis effect. Doldrums – near the equator where warm are rises steadily creating ______ pressure and very little ______ Horse Latitudes – about 30° N and S where cool air steadily sinks creating _____ pressure and very little _______ Trade Winds – area between the horse latitudes and doldrums of steady _______ Prevailing Westerlies – winds between 30° and 60° N and S that generally blow towards the ______, play an important role in weather in the US Polar Easterlies – winds between 60° and 90° N and S that generally blow towards the _____ Coriolis Effect - Earth’s ____________ causes winds to ___________ Jet stream – a current of fast moving air in the ____________ Winds Wind – horizontal movement of air from an area of ________ pressure to an area of ________ pressure - winds are caused by differences in ___________________ Wind Chill – the increased ____________ that wind causes Wind direction is measured with a ____________________ and wind speed is measured with an ___________________.
