Wind and Weather
The atmosphere has wind
patterns.
Uneven heating causes air to
move through pressure
differences (high -> low pressure)
Earth’s rotation affects wind
direction.
There are three belts of global
wind: trade winds, the
westerlies, and the easterlies.
Jet streams flow near the top of
the troposphere.

Investigate Coriolis Effect
1) Read the investigation on page A49.
2) Write the “What Do You Think? And the “Challenge”
questions in your notebook.
3) You will need one partner.
4) Investigation materials are near the bulletin board.
5) Be sure you have read the procedure before you come to
the table!
