Westerly Winds in the Southern Hemisphere blow from?
The rotation of Earth causes all Southern Hemisphere winds to be deflected to the
If there is no atmosphere on Mars how can there be winds?
There IS atmosphere on Mars. It's quite thin compared to Earth's, but it's substantial enough for winds to occur.
What are the winds high in the atmosphere'?
The jet stream.
Does the sun influence the formation of winds on the earth's surface?
To the extent that the sun warms the atmosphere, and varying temperatures within the atmosphere are the basis of winds, yes.
Do solar winds bring heat?
The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. The stream of particles varies in temperature and speed over time. These particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high kinetic energy and the high temperature, but do not provide enough heat to change the temperature on the Earth. The atmosphere blocks the Ultraviolet rays that solar winds are composed of and the only evidence they display on Earth are power grids being knocked out and the Northern and Southern lights.
What are the winds from the west called?
Westerly winds.
Winds in the upper atmosphere are measured by?
Graphs or Radar
Does the planet Venus have high winds?
Yes, in the upper atmosphere high winds have been observed.
What part of the sun sends out solar winds?
Solar winds are sent out from the upper atmosphere of the sun.
What are high-altitude westerly winds called?
prevailing winds?
Is Venus windy?
Yes! Very strong winds are in the upper atmosphere of Venus.
Why air pollutants produced by forest fires in another country can travel all the way to Singapore?
The air pollutants rise high in the atmosphere where the winds are very active. These high-speed winds in the upper atmosphere is what allows pollutants to travel and spread our through out the world. Even though the winds at ground level seem still, high in the atmosphere they're vigorous and aggressive.
What is the name of the winds that push weather west to east across the us found in the upper atmosphere?
It is called the TRADE WINDS.
Which wind drives polar currents?
westerly winds
Where are the jet streams located?
Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow, meandering air currents in the atmospheres of some planets, including Earth. On Earth, the main jet streams are located near the altitude of the tropopause and are westerly winds (flowing west to east).
What are the bands of high speed winds that blow in the upper troposphere are called?
jetstreams
Westerly Winds in the Southern Hemisphere blow from?
The rotation of Earth causes all Southern Hemisphere winds to be deflected to the
