Take Home MessagesWinds are created by horizontal temperature
difference (which create density differences and hence pressure difference)
Rotation of the Earth creates bands of high winds (prevailing westerlies) at mid-latitudes
Interactions with the day-night heating and cooling of
the earth’s surface create changes in the vertical structure of the horizontal wind
Orographic feature (coastal regions, mountains, etc) create local circulations that enhance or decrease wind speeds
