Coriolis Effect
The Earth’s rotation causes moving air and water to appear to move to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.
Convection Currents
Hot air in the cell nearest the Equator moves to the top of the troposphere. Air moves north and cools, moving back to the surface at 30.
Prevailing Winds
These are formed from the Coriolis Effect, Trade Winds, Westerlies, and Polar Easterlies.
Jet Streams
Near the top of the Troposphere is a narrow band of high winds called the Jet Stream. They flow west to east. They can dip north and south.
