∙ 12y agoThe combination of convection cells found at every 30 degrees of latitude and the Coriolis effect produces patterns of air circulation called global winds. Local winds blow from any direction and move short distances. Local winds are caused by unequal heating within a small area.

How are global winds and local winds similar?
They both have covection currents and effect the weather
What is more important to the world local winds or global winds?
Actually it is very important to have both local winds, and global winds. Becuase each helps earth and everything on it a lot...
What are the effects of global warming on global winds?
Global winds are dependent largely on the large difference in temperature between polar and tropical regions. Global warming heats the poles faster than the tropics, thus reducing the temperature difference. Exactly how global winds would change as a result is hard to predict. One likely trend would be a weakening of jets streams in the temperate latitudes.
How are local winds different from global winds?
Because some people could be mean
How are local and global winds different?
local winds-are winds that blow over short distances caused by unequal heating of the earths surface in a small area. global winds-are winds that blow around the earth from the north pole to the south pole.
What are similarities between global winds and local winds?
they aren't.
How are global winds and local find similar?
Global winds are local winds.
What is the difference between winds and local winds?

Monsoons Global winds Local winds
What winds are not global winds?
Land breezes and sea breezes are examples of local winds.
What are the main types of winds?
The two main types of wind are Local winds and Global winds.

Local winds differ from global winds because they?
Are caused by differences in cloud cover
Do local winds blow over shorter distances than global winds?
yes
