What causes the global winds to separate into three bands?
pressure gradient For A+ The earth's rotation
What are Bands of high pressure and low pressure found every thirty degrees latitude called?
pressure belts
What two global systems distribute thermal energy on earth?
convecton currents and previlling winds
How many types of global winds are there?
There are 8 types of global winds.
What is transferred by global winds?
Thermal energy is transferred by global winds.
Where do global winds and pressure systems exist?
Global winds and pressure systems exist at the surface and at high altitudes. Surface winds include trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies. High altitude winds include high speed winds (which are often called jet streams). These high speed winds blow from the east in the low latitudes and from the west in the middle and high latitudes. Although local and seasonal variations occur, the wind and pressure patterns are generally predictable on the global scale. The high altitude wind and surface wind motions are related to each other.
What are global winds affected by?
Global winds are *e*ffected by differences in air pressure caused by uneven solar heating of the atmosphere.
Which factor most influence global precipitation?
Variations in air pressure and global winds.
How is the formation of global winds and small scale winds similar?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, winds move from high to low pressure. Has something to do with the coriolis effect.:]
Air moves from which pressure systems towards which other pressure systems?
Air moves from high pressure systems toward low pressure systems. This movement is the cause for the winds.
What is two pressure systems that would cause the strongest winds?
High pressure systems and high anticyclone regions produce the strongest winds. This is because the pressure gradients are much larger in these areas.
Why is it correct to say wind energy and solar energy are related?
solar energy creates high pressure systems that come from the poles high pressure systwms cause wind that blows from the North. they are global winds. We use global winds to make wind energy so it is correct to say that wind energy and solar energy are related
What causes the global winds to separate into three bands?

What are two factors mainly influence global precipation?
the region, and the relative humidity in the area are the two main factors of precipitation
