Investigation 6 - Air Flow

The calm area around the equator

Opposite direction to the way in which the hands of the clock move around

The change in our climate over 30 or more years

Corresponding in direction typical to the forward moving of the clock

A wind that blows from land to sea

Radiant energy that is beyond the red end of the visible spectrum

A huge convection cell that covers much of Earth at the equator

Energy transfer by contact between particles

A wind that blows from sea onto land

The cause of winds near the equator in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere to curve west

The windless areas around 30 degrees north and south of the equator

Wind produced by the combination of high- and low-pressure areas and the Coriolis effect

A gas that absorbs and radiates energy in the atmosphere, trapping thermal energy

A narrow band of fast-moving high-altitude wind flowing west to east affecting weather on Earth

The predictable moderate wind from between 5 and 25 north or south latitude

A mass of fluid flowing in a cycle in one place

Energy that is radiated or transmitted through space in the form of rays, waves, or particles

Energy that travels through air and space
