CHAPTER 2:WINDS OF THE WORLD

WINDS

the answer is uneven atmospheric pressure. Because there are always differences in the temperature of the atmosphere, there also pressure differences, and these differences naturally seek to balance them selves. And then the wind is carried messages about future weather

What makes wind blow ?

and why does it blow first this way ?

that now weak, now strong ?

Winds are grouped into three categories.

• Local and Regional persistent wind (sea breeze and land breeze, the mountain* and the valley wind)

But the spin west to east will making them veer of their strictly north-south course. It’s called coriolis force( the force that making a change of axis wind)

EARTH ROTATION !

THE WILDS WIND

It happend because the clash of 2 current wind with their different temperature and humidities. They called cycloon or anticycloon. Or we know them as well as Hurricane or Typhoon.

HOW ABOUT TORNADO ?

Tornado is a kind of cycloon wind. But it have very high power to broken all form of life. Tornado, always appear and happened in United States. The Tornado always associated with the Thunderstorms, green lightning flickers weirdly over the land, and dark clouds glow strangely green and yellow.
