Name ____________________________ Date____________________ Weather Factors ■ Class ____________ Review and Reinforce Winds Understanding Main Ideas Identify the global wind belts and calm areas in the figure below. 1 1. _________________________ 4. _________________________ 5. _________________________ 30° N 3 2. _________________________ 3. _________________________ 60° N 2 5 4 Equator 0° 30° S 60° S ______________ 6. A wind is a horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure. ______________ 7. Wind speed is measured with a(n) wind vane. ______________ 8. The increased cooling that a wind can cause is called the Coriolis effect. ______________ 9. Local winds are winds that blow over short distances. ______________ 10. The flow of air from an ocean or lake to the land is called a land breeze. ______________ 11. The flow of air from land to a body of water is called a sea breeze. ______________ 12. Bands of high-speed winds about 10 kilometers above Earth’s surface are called polar easterlies. ______________ 13. Winds that blow steadily from specific directions over long distances are called doldrums. ______________ 14. The way Earth’s rotation makes winds curve is called the prevailing westerlies. ______________ 15. Distance from the equator, measured in degrees, is called longitude. © Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
