WINDS ARE NAMED FROM WHERE THEY COME FROM!
1. Temperature difference = rising/sinking air.2. Rising/sinking air = pressure difference.
3. Pressure likes to balance out = WIND !!!

Wind Trends
• Air Rises
Low Pressure
• Air Sinks
HighPressure
Pressure• Always flows from a higher pressure to a lower
pressure.

Sea Breeze
• Daytime• Land heats faster than water
throughout the day.• Air Above Land is warmer than air
above water• Colder – Higher Pressure air
displaces warmer – Lower Pressureair over land.
• Breeze is felt off body of water.
Land Breeze
• Night• Land looses heat quicker than water
at night.• Air above land is cooler than air
above water.• Colder – Higher Pressure over land
displaces warmer – Lower Pressureover water.
• Breeze is felt from off land.

Sea Breeze
Wind blows from Sea to Land.

Valley Breeze
• Daytime• The shape of the land heats valley
faster than sides of Mountain dueto the striking angle of the sun.
• The colder air – High pressure justabove valley floor displaceswarmer air (Lower Pressure)making the warmer air rise up thesides of the mountain.
• Breeze is felt coming up theMountain.
Mountain Breeze
• Night• The shape of the land develops this
breeze.• Air cools off during the night inside
and down the mountain.• Colder (H) displaces the warmer (L)
air allowing the warmer air to riseinside the center of the valley.
• Breeze is felt coming downmountain.

Global Temperature Patterns
• Wind currents thatdevelop on a GLOBALSCALE
• Still a result oftemperature andpressure differences.

Global Winds
HadleyCells. • Air moves
between thewarm equatorand the coldpoles.

Global Temperature Patterns
The sun’s rays are stronger nearthe equator causing morewarming. The air here is warm.
The sun’s rays are weakernear the equator causing lesswarming. The air here is cool.
So Air tries to move between the poles from a high to low pressure = Global Winds

The Coriolis Effect
• Air does notmove in astraight linebecause ofEarth’s rotation.
CoriolisEffect
Earth spin makes the wind curveinstead of traveling in a straight line.
