ATMOSPHERE CIRCULATION:
the equator creates a lot of hot air that starts rising from the ground (low pressure zone). Up in the atmosphere, some air moves towards poles and it cools, becoming dense, and as it gets denser it sinks (high pressure zone)
creates
PRESSURE GRADIENTS: (a difference in pressure) It causes air to move from high pressure in poles to low pressure in equator
-
how it works
- sun heats up in the air 2. air rises and moves towards poles (low pressure) 3. air reaches poles and cools down (high pressure) this all creates a pressure gradient
