Wind and Air Pressure ReviewOnline version

Wind and pressure refresher

by Ryan Chen
1

Slide 1: What is air pressure?

Air pressure is the weight of air pressing down on everything. A barometer measures this atmospheric pressure.

2

Slide 2: Barometer and pressure

A barometer indicates changes in barometric pressure. Rising pressure often means clear skies; falling pressure can signal storms.

3

Slide 3: What causes wind?

Wind results from unequal heating of Earth’s surface, creating areas of high and low pressure that air moves between.

4

Slide 4: Convection currents

Convection currents are circulating flows of air or water due to temperature differences, driving wind patterns.

5

Slide 5: Global wind basics

Global winds form between the poles and the equator, shaping climate and weather across the planet.

6

Slide 6: Major wind systems

Trade Winds blow toward the equator and turn west. They aided early trading routes.

7

Slide 7: More wind systems

Easterlies flow from east to west near the poles; Westerlies move from west to east, influencing U.S. weather.

8

Slide 8: Jet Stream & instruments

The Jet Stream is a fast-moving air current circling Earth, affecting flights and weather. An anemometer measures wind speed.

9

Slide 9: Atmosphere layers

The Troposphere houses most weather. The Stratosphere contains the ozone layer. CFCs harm ozone.

10

Slide 10: Summary questions

Key terms to locate on a map: Equator, Easterlies, Westerlies, Trade Winds, Horse Latitudes, Doldrums.
Main wind cause: unequal heating of Earth’s surface.
