1.
Objective: Explain how air masses move based on pressure
differentials.
Expected Exam Date: December 10th or 11th
Low Pressure
 Cyclones are areas of low pressure.
 As you move toward the center of a cyclone, the pressure
decreases.
 Wind in a low pressure system moves counterclockwise.
 All of this produces lots of clouds and precipitation.
High Pressure
 Anticyclones are high pressure systems
 As you move toward the center of an anticyclone, the
pressure increases.
 Wind moves clockwise
 Weather is clear and fair.
We know the Earth is hotter at the
Equator and colder at the Poles.
 But! Some winds move heat from the Equator to the Poles.
 Other winds move cold air from the Poles to the Equator.
Trade Winds move from East to West
along the Equator.
Westerlies move wind from West to
East.
 These are the prevailing winds in the United States—for
the most part, in this country, wind moves in this direction.
 So…most weather here moves from West to East!
