Earth’s AtmosphereThe atmosphere is a
layer of gases surrounding the Earth
It protects life on Earth

The sun is where air movement begins
Why does movement of air begin with the sun?

downward

throughout nature:

Convection Current in Action
A Local Wind
What do you think gets hotter faster: Earth’s
land or Earth’s water?

During the Day:
Land heats up faster than water so the air rises above the land
and comes back from the ocean.
Local Wind

Water is funny. It retains heat better! So that means once it gets warm, it stays warm longer than land.
So at night…
But…

Air gets warm over
water!Air then
moves in the opposite direction near the
ocean

Global Convection Currents
Uneven heating of Earth causes local and global air movements.
Here are global convection currents we have on Earth.
These global wind patterns move weather
across the world.
