What causes wind?a difference in air pressure between 2

placesMoving air changes in pressure

Wind Map

Sinking (cold) Air Creates High Pressure

Changes in Pressure

Rising (warm) Air Creates Low Pressure

Air Always Moves from High to Low Pressure

Gradient = difference in pressure

Moving Air is Called Wind!

Global Winds: Winds that blow steadily from specific

directions cover long distances Stay the same over long periods of

time Affected by the Earth’s rotation

The Coriolis Effect• Northern

Hemisphere things turn to the right

• Southern Hemisphere things turn to the left

Counter- Clockwise Rotation

Clockwise Rotation

Coriolis Effect

This is The CORIOLIS Effect

This is the CORIOLIS effect

The Coriolis EffectThis is true for wind NOT for drains! IT IS ALSO TRUE FOR OCEAN

CIRCULATION CALLED GYRES (more on that next semester).

Types of Global Winds

• Trade Winds– winds that

blow from 300 North or South toward the equator.

TRADE WINDS


• Prevailing Westerlies: – winds that

blow from West to East

WESTERLIES


• Polar Easterlies– Cold global

winds that blow from East to West

POLAR EASTERLIES

Types of Global Winds• Jet Stream:

– bands of high speed winds that are hundreds of km wide

– Move around the poles and subtropics

– Bring clouds and storms

Local Windsblow over short distances caused by unequal heating of

Earth’s surfacenot affected by Coriolis Effect

Types of Local Winds

• Sea Breeze: Wind that blows from a lake or ocean to the land

Types of Local Winds

• Land Breeze: Wind that blows from the land out over a body of water
