Wind Padlet by Ann Wells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27 Made with a curious mind en-us 2022-02-18 14:55:01 UTC 2022-02-18 16:56:40 UTC hello@padlet.com What Are Winds? annwells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055407891 Wind is moving air. It always goes from high pressure to low pressure. Wind is very important because it moves energy all around the world ]]> 2022-02-18 15:09:00 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055407891 How do the molecules in wind move? rileybruenderman https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055410613 The air molecules are moving very quickly. As the air molecules heat and move faster, they also move apart from one another. When the air molecules cool down and move slower, they huddle up into one another. ]]> 2022-02-18 15:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055410613 What is the Jet Stream? annwells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055418989 Jet streams are rivers of wind. They are very long, wide, and deep. They are one of the main reasons that weather changes. They lower heat, and move around moisture. They don't stay in the same spot. They move around either toward the equator, or away from the equator. ]]> 2022-02-18 15:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055418989 Which way does the Jet stream move? rileybruenderman https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055421491 The Jet stream changes North to South based on the temperature. They bend and move in different ways. They either move towards the equator or away from it.]]> 2022-02-18 15:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055421491 Why are Jet Streams Important to Us? annwells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055424005 They are one of the main things that affect our weather. They help out by lowering the heat. They also move around moisture.]]> 2022-02-18 15:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055424005 What are Trades Winds? annwells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055431226 Trade Winds are patterns of winds the move east to west.]]> 2022-02-18 15:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055431226 Which way do they Travel? annwells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055437019 Trade winds travel from east to west. This is because of the earth rotating on its axis.]]> 2022-02-18 15:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055437019 How does it change over the seasons? rileybruenderman https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055437169 When the sun evaporates a bunch of water near the equator, the water vapor in the warmer air rises up into the sky and flows North to South. When this water vapor cools, it falls back to Earth and the falling rain pushes air down. This means that wind is caused by the air falling. The way that Earth rotates on it's axis causes the wind to blow East to West.]]> 2022-02-18 15:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055437169 Why are Trade winds important to us? rileybruenderman https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055443331 It makes the weather and temperature more consistent yearly.]]> 2022-02-18 15:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055443331 What is the Coriolis effect? annwells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055446796 It is the way the wind bend because of the earth spinning on its axis. ]]> 2022-02-18 15:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055446796 Why is the Coriolis Effect Important? annwells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055455643 The Coriolis effect is important because it controls the wind, and ocean currents. ]]> 2022-02-18 15:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055455643 How does the Coriolis effect work? rileybruenderman https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055456284   the air deflects toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This results in curved paths. ]]> 2022-02-18 15:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055456284 annwells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055546131 2022-02-18 16:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055546131 annwells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055547106 2022-02-18 16:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055547106 annwells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055547887 2022-02-18 16:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055547887 annwells https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055549253 2022-02-18 16:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/annwells/3a830h4xse6kva27/wish/2055549253
