Climate is defined as what????

average, year-after-year conditions of temperature, precipitation, winds, and cloud

the poles

Heat transfer between two substances that are in contact

cold air is more dense than warm air.  As air heats up it rises.  The colder air sinks because it is more dense.  Each moves to take the place of the other in this cycle of movement.

Convection takes place because

Cool air density compared to warm air is

 more dense

Local winds differ from global winds because they are caused by

unequal heating within a small area.  Think about a beach where the wind blows in from the ocean.

Air has pressure because air

From Earth to space, the main layers in our atmosphere

Earth’s rotation makes global winds curve

Coriolis effect.

Winds are caused by differences

The ____________________ Hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the sun in January than in July.

Because Earth’s axis is ____________________, the hemispheres receive different amounts of solar energy at different times.

Streams of water called ocean ____________________ move warm or cold water, warming or cooling the nearby land.

Most of the heating of the troposphere occurs by ____________________, which is the transfer of heat by fluid movement.

Uneven heating of the atmosphere leads to differences in ____________________, which causes wind.

A sea breeze is a type of ____________________ wind.

Winds that blow steadily from specific directions over long distances are called ____________________.
