Earth System Processes and the Atmosphere by Cindy Arias https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj Different processes of the earth system and how they interact to produce the large scale circulation of the atmosphere. en-us 2020-07-22 15:02:37 UTC 2020-07-25 21:53:57 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f30f.png One interdependent system csarias97 https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/660217312 Both the atmosphere and the oceans act as an interdependent system: surface currents in the oceans are a direct result of Earth's atmospheric wind belts.]]> 2020-07-22 15:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/660217312 Solar energy csarias97 https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/660218736 Atmospheric winds are created by the heat of solar energy at the surface of the earth. This drives most of the surface currents and waves in the ocean. Radiant energy from the sun is responsible for motion in the atmosphere and the ocean.]]> 2020-07-22 15:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/660218736 Circulation Cells ivyhunt https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/660250731 Hadley Cells: the sun heats  the atmosphere causing the density to decrease and the air to rise. Air cools and drops water vapor as rain. Dry air travels north or south and cools off, becoming dense again. Denser air descends. ]]> 2020-07-22 16:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/660250731 Wind Belts ivyhunt https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/660256515 The lowered circulation cells generate different types of wind belts and trade winds depending on the region, pressure, and the height of the circulation cells. ]]> 2020-07-22 16:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/660256515 Boundaries ivyhunt https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/660270273 The boundary between trade winds and westerlies are horse latitudes.

- The lower heat capacity of continental rock compared to seawater, which makes the air over continents more extreme than the air over adjacent oceans.
- The uneven distribution of land and ocean over Earth's surface]]> 2020-07-23 03:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/660689204 Mariia Tarasova https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/662389064 Coriolis effect
Dramatically influence atmospheric circulation by causing them to move curved paths changing the direction of the wind belts in Northern and Southern Hemispheres differently. 
Ex: northeast trade winds curve to the right due to Coriolis effect,
southeast trade winds curve to the left  ]]> 2020-07-25 15:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/csarias97/8vnded81hu3j75bj/wish/662389064
