| Coriolis effect | Earth's rotation causes winds to curve |
| doldrums | Windless area at the equator |
| equator | an imaginary line at 0 degrees latitude on the Earth's surface |
| trade winds | warm, steady breezes that blow almost continuously 30 degrees north and south of the equator |
| prevailing westerlies | strong steady winds blowing from the west between 30 and 60 degrees latitude |
| polar easterlies | Winds between 60 degrees and 90 degrees latitude |
| jet stream | narrow belt of strong, high speed winds, high pressure air flowing west to east at the top of the troposphere |
| Tropic zone | Climate around trade winds |
| Temperate zone | Climate around prevailing westerlies |
| Polar zone | Climate around polar easterlies |
| Climate | Weather that an area usually gets |
| Sea Breeze | Breeze from the sea to the land, happens during day |
| Land Breeze | Local wind blowing from land to sea, happens at night |
| Local winds | Winds affecting a small area |
| Global winds | Winds affecting a large area |
| Wind is due to: | Earth's tilt and curve and uneven heating of the Earth's surface |
