and change direction.
300 points Wind factors
16
What is friction?
300 points wind factors
17
Closely spaced isobars on a
weather map indicate a steep

low at 60° North latitude.
300 points Global winds
26
What are the westerlies?
300 points Global winds
High-altitude, high-speed ‘rivers of

30
What is 90 degrees N or S
(the poles)?
500 points Global winds
31
This local wind occurs during the
daytime at a coastline due to the
unequal heating of land and water.
100 points Local winds
32
What is a sea breeze?
100 points Local winds
33
This local wind occurs during the
nighttime at a coastline due to the
unequal heating of land and water.
200 points Local winds
34
What is a land breeze?
200 points Local winds

night when cool air flows
downslope from mountains
into a valley.
300 points Local winds
36
What is a mountain breeze?
300 points Local winds
37
This instrument measures
wind speed.
400 points Local winds
38
What is an anemometer?
400 points Local winds
39
This regional wind pattern occurs in the
summer when a low pressure system
develops over Asia bringing moist air
from the Indian Ocean across the
Indian subcontinent, producing
torrential rains.
500 points Local winds
40

monsoons?
500 points Local winds
41

100 points El Niño
42
What is La Niña?
100 points El Niño, La Niña
43
The atmospheric phenomenon
called El Niño got its name
because it usually occurs near
this major holiday season.

by warm water from the western
Pacific Ocean.
300 points El Niño, La Niña
46
What are Peru and Ecuador?
300 points El Niño, La Niña
47
The warm water along the coasts
during an El Niño event blocks the
