  • Blow across the entire planet

  • Generally blows in the same direction and speed

  • Blow over small areas

  • Some are high in the atmosphere so they cannot be felt on the ground

  • Influenced by local conditions and local temperature variation.

  • Hurricanes

  • Speed and direction change freqently

  • Trade Winds, Westerlies, Easterlies

Match the definitions of the following global winds

Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item

Polar Easterlies

arrow_right_alt

Blow toward the equator, to Doldrums (area of low pressure). Located between 0-30 north and south.

Trade Winds

arrow_right_alt

Between 30-60 latitude. High pressure at 30 causes air to descend and blow toward the poles.

Westerlies

arrow_right_alt

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.
