Trade Winds
Because of horse latitudes between 30 degrees and the equator in the northern hemisphere air blows from the northeast and in the southern hemisphere between 30 degrees south and the equator the wind blows from the southeast

Polar Easterlies
-
Polar Easterlies and Prevailing Westerlies meet at 60 degrees north and 60 degrees south along a region called the polar front, effecting weather in the U.S.

Wind= Horizontal movement of air from a place of high air pressure to a place of low air pressure, caused by differences and changes in air pressure

-
Local Winds= Winds that blow over short distances, caused by uneven heating within a small area

Global Winds
Global Wind Currents
Temperature differences between the poles and the equator create huge convection currents in the atmosphere
Warm air rises at the equator while cold air sinks at the poles causing winds to bow from the poles to the equator
