Why does most of our wind come from the west?
The wind does not always blow from the west. In the northern hemisphere there are a number of air currents that move in different directions. The same is true for the southern. In the latitudes in which the US lies, the general direction of air movement is west to east, but this varies slightly depending on storm fronts.Movement of the air is generally determined by Coriolis effects.Air in the northern cell move easterly, air in the Hadley cells, nearer to the equator move in a westerly direction.
What causes large weather patterns to move from the west to east?
it the air moving and the air moves the clouds
Air pressure near the equator is less than air pressure at the poles a fact that causes air to move where?
From west to east
What direction do air masses move in the us?
Various directions at various times.Referring to weather patterns, U.S. weather generallymoves from West to East.
Why is the west side of the earth Warmer than the east side?
Define West and East. On the West coast, The weather there is influenced from warm ocean currents that provide decent weather for most of the year. The North American jet streams travel from west to east, so as air travels farther inland, and away from the ocean, it loses some of the moisture and the temperature it had on the west coast. As air travels over the rocky mountains, it condenses, and leaves an opening for cold air fronts from Canada to move south, clashing from warm air rising from the gulf of Mexico. In the winter this clash results in weather systems and snow in the Midwest and Eastern United States
Do westerlies move air masses from west to east?
yes
How does the air move?
The wind moves from south east north and west

Which way is faster flying either west-to-east or east-to-west you a hot air balloon flying across the continental US?
As earth is moving east to west we should move west to east to faster to our destination.

it the air moving and the air moves the clouds
How air masses move across the US?
In the United States air masses move across the country by air currents. These air currents are pushed by either hot or cold air masses.
How do air masses move across the US?

From west to east
What direction do air masses move in the us?
Various directions at various times.Referring to weather patterns, U.S. weather generallymoves from West to East.
Why do air masses move west to east?
air masses move because the gravity and air paressure are making them move..
Why is plane ride different length of time going and coming from Europe?
This due to planes travelling in jet streams which are air currents flowing west to east. Flying west to east takes less time as the plane with the jet stream. If a plane flies east to west the flight time can be significantky increased as it is flying against the air current.
If air is moving south from california which way will it tend to curve?
It will move South West
