the measure of force with which air molecules push on an area
air pressure
400
what are 3 types of heat transfer
convection, conduction, and radiation
400
Global winds:
Local winds:
2 types of winds
G: wind systems that only occur on Earth's surface
L: movement of air over short distances
400

500
different rates which materials become cooler or warmer
specific heat
500
what are convection, conduction, and radiation
Radiation: transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
Conduction: transfer of energy from abjects to another
Convection: transfer of energy due to the motion of matter. Happens in liquid and gas form
500
what are 3 types of global winds
Polar-Easterlies, Westerlies, trade winds
500
jet streams
a narrow belt of high-speed winds that blow west to east, 7 to 17 kilometers
