Q’S
Did you write in COMPLETE SENTENCES?!?!
Wind is always named by where it is coming from!
It is called a NORTH wind because it is moving from the north to the south.
What would a wind be named (North or South) if it is blowing from Georgia to Florida?
Most often noticed at the beach!
Caused By: UnequalHeating
Within a small area!
1. Land heats up faster than water.2. Warm air over land rises.3. Air over water moves to shore.4. Would occur during the day.5. Named a SEA breeze because it comes
from the sea.

1. Land cools off faster than water.2. Warm air over water rises. 3. Cool air from land takes its place.4. Would occur at night.5. Called a LAND breeze because the
wind is coming from the land.

CLOSER LOOK AT LOCAL WIND
When Air WARMS up When air heats up, it loses mass and
becomes less dense. The air becomes more spread out Because of this, warm air will rise
When Air COOLS down When air cools down, it gains mass and
becomes more dense The air will sink
Look at these two diagrams. Can you tell which is the land breeze and which is the sea breeze?

1. Blow steadily from
the same direction all the
time.2. The path is
curved because of the Coriolis Effect.

TYPES OF GLOBAL WINDS
A. Polar easterliesB. WesterliesC. Trade winds
Remember! Winds are named according to where originate, or come from.
POLAR EASTERLIESFrom the POLESWind belts that extend from the poles to 60° latitude
Formed from cold sinking air moving from the poles creating cold temperatures
WESTERLIESWind belts found between 30° and 60° latitude
Flow towards the poles from west to east carrying moist air over the Unites States
TRADE WINDSWinds that blow from 30° almost to the equator
Called the trade winds because of their use by early sailors
JET STREAMS
Jet Stream1. Very fast 200-
400 kmh2. Acts like a
conveyor belt3. Goes
completely around the earth.
4. In US, it makes weather generally blow east to west
5. Measured by anemometer
Notice that the jet stream does not stay the same every day. But it is always there!
Notice on this weather map in motion how the rain moves toward the east over time.

GLOBAL OR LOCAL WIND ?????
1. Air over land is cooler and forms an area of high pressure. The cool air moves toward the ocean.
2. Polar Easterlies3. Generally moves over short distances4. Jet stream5. Caused by unequal heating over a large area6. Can blow from any direction7. Land breeze8. Is effected by the Coriolis Effect9. Caused by unequal heating within a small
area10.Valley breeze
11. The Doldrums12. Blows from a specific direction from day to
day13. Sea breeze14. Horse latitude15. Effected by local geographic features16. Westerlies17. Caused because the angle of the sun giving
the equator more direct sunlight18. Mountain breeze19. Trade winds20. During the day, air over the ocean is cooler
and forms an area of high pressure. The cool air flows to the land
