| TRADE WINDS | responsible for pushing hurricanes across the atlantic |
| WIND | movement of air |
| GLOBAL WINDS | polar easterlies, trade winds, prevailing westerlies, doldrums, horse latitudes |
| CORIOLIS EFFECT | curving of global winds due to earth's rotation |
| JET STREAM | a stream of air in the upper troposphere |
| SEA BREEZE | cool air over the ocean blows towards the land |
| DOLDRUMS | low pressure zone near equator where the air is very calm |
| HORSE LATITUDES | high pressure zones at 30 degrees latitude where the air is very calm |
| TRADE WINDS | winds blow east to west between equator and 30 degrees latitude |
| PREVAILING WESTERLIES | blow from west to east between 30 degrees and 60 degrees |
| POLAR EASTERLIES | blow from east from poles |
| CONVECTION CELLS | very large circular patterns of air responsible for the global wind pattenrs |
| PRESSURE BELTS | areas of pressure that separate convection cells |
| LOW PRESSURE | formed by rising warm air |
| HIGH PRESSURE | formed by sinking cool air |
| LAND BREEZE | cool air over the land blows toward the sea |
| NORTH SIDE | where the wind is the strongest in a hurricane |
| UNEVEN HEATING OF EARTH | differences in air pressure is caused by this |
| 0 DEGREES | equator |
| 90 DEGREES N | North Pole |
| 90 DEGREES S | South Pole |
| SOLAR ENERGY | the equator receives more of this |
| FROM | winds are named for the direction that winds blow ---- |
| RISES | warm air does this |
| SINKS | cool air does this |
| DENSE | the molecules in cool air are closer together, they are ----- |
| LESS DENSE | the molecules of warm air are farther apart, the are ---- ------ |
| HURRICANE HUNTERS | volunteers who fly into hurricanes to gather information |
| HIGH PRESSURE AREAS | created at the poles and flow toward the equator |
| LOW PRESSURE AREA | created at the equator, as warm air rises |
