ATMOSPHEREAIR MOVEMENT

• COMPLETE
• Caused by the uneven heating of Earth and its
  atmosphere.
• Imaginary line around the middle of Earth.
• Windless zone at the equator which sailing
  vessels try to avoid.
• Winds generally responsible for the movement of
  weather across the United States and Canada.
• Wind that provide a dependable route for trade.
• Cool breezes during the day caused by differences
  in heating and cooling rates of land and water.
• Narrow belts of strong winds at high altitudes
  which blow near the top of the troposphere.
• Cool breezes at night cause by differences in
  heating and cooling rates of land and water.
• Heat from the sun.
• The deflection of air masses resulting from
  Earths eastward rotation.
• Winds that blow from the North and South Poles
