Global Atmospheric Circulation

Question 1

What is global atmospheric circulation?

Answer 1

How air moves across the planet

Question 2

Explain global atmospheric circulation

Answer 2

1- suns rays are more concentrated at the equator
2- air rises here, creating low pressure
3- the air that rises is mostly made up of water vapour, as the air rises and cools, this condenses to form clouds, air spreads north and south, stinking at 30° as the cooking has shade the air more dense, this creates high pressure
4- trade winds take some of the air back to the equator
5- some wind transported north by westerlies
6- polar easterlies takes cold air from the poles to 60°, this meets the warm air and causes it to rise as it is less dense, creating low pressure
