Coriolis Effect is causes

Winds traveling from high pressure to low pressure areas curve because of ...

Hurricanes
Blow over small areas
Generally blows in the same direction and speed
Trade Winds, Westerlies, Easterlies
Influenced by local conditions and local temperature variation.
Blow across the entire planet
Some are high in the atmosphere so they cannot be felt on the ground
Speed and direction change freqently

Local Winds
Global Winds

Match the definitions of the following global winds

		Blow toward the equator, to Doldrums (area of low pressure). Located between 0-30 north and south.
		Between 30-60 latitude. High pressure at 30 causes air to descend and blow toward the poles.
		Located above 60 latitude. High pressure over poles (caused by sinking cold dense air) causes the air to blow away from the poles toward 60 latitude.
