The way the earth rotates
Lydia Schulist

Near the equator, the trade winds converge into a broad west to west area of light winds. The area is known as the doldrums because there are light winds. This belt of air around the equator receives much of the sun's radiant energy.

Do clouds and wind appear to follow the same patterns?
Broadly speaking and over time, yes, coulds and wind appear to follow the same patterns.
What two things cause regional wind patterns?
rotation and convection current
What affects local wind patterns?
Many things effect local wind patterns. The local temperature and how it varies also effect the winds. Temperature variations also affect the local wind patterns.
Do mountains affect wind patterns?
they adjust an redirect wind patterns an also holds precipation an temparture contolr
What causes the wind to move in the bands of the earth?
The atmosphere has wind patterns
Do clouds and wind appear to follow the same patterns?
Broadly speaking and over time, yes, coulds and wind appear to follow the same patterns.
What are major wind systems that follow similar patterns over time called?
Major wind systems that follow similar patterns over time are known as prevailing winds.
What two things cause regional wind patterns?
rotation and convection current
Where are currents found?
A surface current is found at the surface of the ocean caused by wind patterns.
What factors make it for scientists to classify world climate regions?
current and wind patterns
What factors make it difficult for scientists to classify world climate regions?
current and wind patterns
How do oceans current and global wind patterns strongly affect a region?
Oh bla bla bla who cares
Why do current move in circular patterns?
Currents move in a circular patteren because of the strong wind on planet earth.
What will happen to weather patterns if global warming continues?
Weather patterns will change, and are changing already. Warming is energy, and this extra energy in the atmosphere gives more strength to storms, changes wind and ocean current directions, and moves rain from its usual patterns.
Are the southern hemisphere's wind patterns more stable than the wind patterns in the northern hemisphere?
yes
Does the ozone layer create wind patterns?
Yes it does create. Wind patterns can be created by ozone depletion.
Where are surface currents found?
A surface current is found at the surface of the ocean caused by wind patterns.
