| the horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure | wind |
| All winds are caused by differences in _________. | air pressure |
| Most differences in air pressure are caused by _______. | unequal heating of the earth's atmosphere |
| measures wind speed | an anemometer |
| the increased cooling that a wind can cause | the wind-chill factor |
| winds that blow over short distances | local winds |
| Local winds are caused by ____________. | unequal heating of the earth's surface within a small area |
| wind that blows from an ocean or lake onto land | sea breeze/lake breeze |
| the flow of air from land to a body of water | land breeze |
| sea and land breezes over a large region that change direction with the seasons | monsoons |
| winds that blow steadily from specific directions over long distances | global winds |
| Global winds are caused by ____. | unequal heating of the earth's surface |
| Temperature differences between the equator and the poles produce giant _____________ currents. | convection |
| The movement of air between the equator and the poles produces _____________ winds. | global |
| the way Earth's rotation makes winds curve | the Coriolis effect |
| The major global wind belts from the poles to the equator are: | polar easterlies, prevailing westerlies, horse latitudes, trade winds, doldrums |
| bands of high-speed winds about 10 kilometers above Earth's surface | jet streams |
