hello
wind
the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
radiation
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
atmosphere
a thin layer of gases surrounding Earth
westerlies
steady winds that flow from west to east between latitudes 30°N and 60°N, and 30°S and 60°S
water vapor
water in its gaseous form
conduction
the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter
troposphere
the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface
sea breeze
wind that blows from the sea to the land due to local temperature and pressure differences
trade winds
Steady winds that flow from east to west between 30°N latitude and 30°S latitude
convection
the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles within matter
stratosphere
the atmospheric layer directly above the troposphere
land breeze
wind that blows from the land to the sea due to local temperature and pressure differences
stability
describes whether circulating air motions will be strong or weak
ozone layer
the area of the stratosphere with a high concentration of ozone
jet stream
a narrow band of high winds near the top of the troposphere
temperature inversion
occurs in the troposphere when temperature increases as altitude increases
ionosphere
A region within the mesosphere and thermosphere that contains ions
polar easterlies
cold winds that blow from the east to the west near the North Pole and South Pole
