| wind | the movement of air caused by the differences in air pressure |
| jet stream | a narrow band of strong winds that blow in the upper troposphere |
| Coriolis effect | the curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth's rotation |
| local wind | the movement of air over short distances: occurs in specific areas as a result of certain geographic features |
| global wind | the movement of air over Earth's surface in patterns that are world wide. |
| ocean current | the movement of ocean water that follows a regular pattern |
| deep current | a stream like movement of ocean water far below the surface |
| surface current | a horizontal movement of ocean water that is caused by wind and that occurs at or near the oceans surface |
| convection current | any movement of matter that results from differences in density: may be vertical, circular, or cyclical |
| Coriolis effect | the curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth's rotation |
| upwelling | the movement of deep, cold, and nutrient rich water to the surface |
