Q

Winds

A

Hot Air Rises & Cold Air Sinks / This Change In Temperature And Movement Creates Wind
/ The Earth Spins Faster Than The Earth So The Air Falls Up And Down Before Making It To The Equator

22
Q

Air Rising And Falling

A

Hot Air Raining - Rain / Cold Air Descending - No Rain

Q

Biomes

A

Patterns Of Precipitation / Temperature Pattern / Distribution Of Living Orgmaisum And Abiotic
