Wind is produced by the movement of air due to differences in air pressure. Convection is a circulation pattern caused by hot and cold temperatures. ]]> 2019-05-07 14:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/g0md1tcty0ow/wish/357652747 jn19278 https://padlet.com/lisle202/g0md1tcty0ow/wish/357656459 Winds can be caused by the tilt and rotation of the earth and the unequal heating of Earth by solar radiation. ]]> 2019-05-07 14:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/g0md1tcty0ow/wish/357656459 jn19278 https://padlet.com/lisle202/g0md1tcty0ow/wish/357657943 At the equator the solar radiation is hitting the Earth at a 90 degree angle causing the air and surface temperatures to be high. At the poles the solar radiation is hitting the Earth at a lesser angle resulting in the heat and energy to be spread out over a greater area. This causes the pole surface and air temperatures to be cooler than near the equator. ]]> 2019-05-07 14:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/g0md1tcty0ow/wish/357657943 jn19278 https://padlet.com/lisle202/g0md1tcty0ow/wish/357662384 The southeast and northeast trade winds are in tropic zones. 30 degrees north and south
The doldrums are located by the equator. 0 degrees latitude
The polar easterlies are located by the North Pole. 90 degrees north
Westerlies cover most of Europe and North America. The other Westerlies in the south cover the tip of Africa and Antarctica. 30-60 degrees north and south]]> 2019-05-07 15:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/g0md1tcty0ow/wish/357662384 jn19278 https://padlet.com/lisle202/g0md1tcty0ow/wish/357665285 A jet stream is formed by the current of fast moving air in the upper atmosphere. It travels at about 300 km/h up to 500 km/h. They travel from west to east, the same as Earth's rotation. ]]> 2019-05-07 15:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/g0md1tcty0ow/wish/357665285 jn19278 https://padlet.com/lisle202/g0md1tcty0ow/wish/357668466 According to the picture it would be the Westerlies that is located over America. ]]> 2019-05-07 15:15:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/g0md1tcty0ow/wish/357668466
