Air Masses, Global Winds, and Fronts
Air Masses and Fronts 6.4.4. Essential Question Why does the Earth experience weather? There are 2 reasons: 1.The movement of air masses; 2.The movement.
Objectives Describe how the rotation of Earth affects the movement of air. Compare and contrast wind systems. Identify the various types of fronts. –Coriolis.
The Tricellular Circulation is highly dynamic, varying with the seasons and bringing the Polar front back and forth across the USA. RANGE OF THE POLAR.
Wind. Uneven Heating Not all parts of the Earth are heated evenly. The equator gets the most energy from the sun, the poles get the least. Air of different.
