What is B. on top of Mt. Everest?

Slide 41

Air at sea level is denser than air at high altitudes because A. the air molecules are pushed farther apart at sea level B. the air molecules are pushed closer together at sea level C. high altitudes cause air molecules to move closer together D. low altitudes cause air molecules to move farther apart

Air at sea level is denser than air at high altitudes because A. the air molecules are pushed farther apart at sea level B. the air molecules are pushed closer together at sea level C. high altitudes cause air molecules to move closer together D. low altitudes cause air molecules to move farther apart

What is from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure?

Slide 47

Earth rotates. How does this motion affect global winds? A. it causes the winds to curve B. it causes the winds to blow C. it causes the winds to move straight from the equator to the poles D. it causes the winds to move straight from the poles to the equator

Slide 50

What is trade winds, horse latitudes, and westerlies?

What is trade winds, horse latitudes, and westerlies?

Slide 51

What causes trade winds to blow?

What causes trade winds to blow?

Slide 52

Trade winds move from high to low pressure areas. They move from the horse latitudes (high pressure) to the doldrums (low pressure). So they blow from the east.

Trade winds move from high to low pressure areas. They move from the horse latitudes (high pressure) to the doldrums (low pressure). So they blow from the east.
