What is a wind pattern?
Wind patterns are the way the winds blow. There are six major wind belts and each hemisphere is divided into three wind belts. The wind belts are polar easterlies, the westerly's, and the trade winds.
Are doldrums global wind belts?
Yes
What are the causes and consequence of shifting of pressure belts?
the shifting of pressure belts causes some places to be in different wind belts during the year thus affecting their climates... the belts of precipitation associated with them also change their positions when pressure belts shift with the seasons.
What are the four major wind belts?
the four major winds belts are doldrums, trade winds, prevailing westerlies, and the polar easterlies
How do global wind belts and calm regions affect transportation in the past?
They dont.

How many wind belts does each hemisphere have?
Six
What Six elements that control climate?
The six elements that control climate are: Altitude The relationship between continents and oceans Pressure belts Wind belts Ocean currents and Topography
What belts of wind called?
belts of wind are trade winds
What are belts of wind called?
belts of wind are trade winds
What are the global wind belts?
the major global wind belts are the trade winds, the polar easterlies, and the prevailing westerlies.
In what derection do the trade wind belts push currents in the tropical latitudes?
Trade wind belts push currents westward in tropical latitudes.
What are pressure belts wind?
There are many wind belts. Doldrums receive the most heat from the Sun. Trade winds extends past the doldrums 30 degrees. Horse latitudes is a wind belt that forms between 30 degrees north and south latitude.
Are doldrums global wind belts?
Yes
What is the cause of global wind belts?
Its caused by the combination of pressure belts and the Coriolis effect.
Two belts of wind in hemisphere?
jet streams?
Are the ocean basins in the southern hemisphere influenced by wind belts?
Yes. Wind Belts, The Coriolis Effect, and the Position of the Continents all influence the ocean basins patterns
