How are global winds and local winds similar?
They both have covection currents and effect the weather
The main cause of global convection currents is?
uneven heating of the earth by the sun
In what direction do global winds and currents flow near the equator?
westward
Describe the convection currents that occur inside Earth?
Convection currents are the movement of fluid as a result of differential heating or convection. In the case of the Earth, convection currents refer to the motion of molten rock in the mantle as radioactive decay heats up magma, causing it to rise and driving the global scale flow of magma.
What causes global convection currents to form?
Differences in temperature on earth
What causes global convection currents between the equator and the poles?
Earth's tilt
What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.

What caused the global convection current between the equator and the poles?
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents. * While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.

What are the Global winds that flow toward equator?
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
