Air from the equator does not flow directly to the poles fb20037 https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357323989 2019-05-06 18:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357323989 Wind is caused by differences atmospheric pressures (air moves from the higher to lower pressure area). Air is also deflected by the Coriolis effect. fb20037 https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357324869 2019-05-06 18:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357324869 From pole to equator, they are the polar easterlies, the westerlies, and the trade winds. All six belts move north in the northern summer and south in the northern winter. fb20037 https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357354730 2019-05-06 19:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357354730 From in the troposphere between two air masses of very different temperature. They are about 57 mph, travels horizontally fb20037 https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357355932 2019-05-06 19:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357355932 Westerlies (West) fb20037 https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357358163 2019-05-06 19:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357358163 They would be knocked off their course and everything will be thrown off. And extra flow in air in between equator and poles. fb20037 https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357358809 2019-05-06 19:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357358809 When fall approaches, it tends to get colder and there is less sun. fb20037 https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357660152 2019-05-07 15:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357660152 fb20037 https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357664226 2019-05-07 15:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357664226 fb20037 https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357668694 2019-05-07 15:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357668694 fb20037 https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357669405 2019-05-07 15:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/qqh1xh9ivnp2/wish/357669405
