  • day-to-day condition of the earth's atmosphere
    weather
  • the average weather condition of a large region
    Climate
  • Trade winds, know as
    westerlies and easterlies
  • Trade winds, know as westerlies and easterlies are called
    Global wind System
  • Trade winds are those that blow from the northeast or the southeat toward the
    equator
  • winds coming from the north and south latitudes and moving eastward toward the poles
    prevailing westerlies
  • Prevailing westerlies are winds forming from the
    north and south latitudes
  • prevailing westerlies are winds coming from the north and south latitude moving
    eastwards
  • prevailing westerlies are winds coming from the north and south latitudes and moving eastward toward the
    poles
  • The earth rotates from
    east to west direction
  • As winds move they are deflected to the
    Right in northern hemisphere and left in southern hemisphere
  • As winds move they are deflected to the Right in northern hemisphere and left in southern hemisphere. This is called as the
    Coriolis effect
  • Doldrums and Horse Latitude are found between
    The wind belts
  • is the area around the Earth centered slightly north of the equator between the two belts of trade winds
    doldrums
  • It is formed from the rising warm air over the equator
    doldrums
  • can get trapped on doldrums for long periods of time because there is not enough wind
    Wind-blown ships
  • winds found north and south of the trade winds
    Horse latitudes
  • Horse latitudes are described as
    changeable winds
  • winds that blow from one direction more often than other winds
    prevailing winds
  • Prevailing winds are the:
    monsoon winds and the trade winds.
  • Northeast Monsoon or
    Hanging Amihan
  • This wind system prevails.
    Northeast Monsoon or Hanging Amihan
  • Northeast Monsoon or Hanging Amihan(months)
    November to February
  • If it is winter in the ________________, the wind over mainland ________ is cold compared to the wind in the Philippines
    Northern Hemisphere, China
  • Since wind moves from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area, the cold wind over China moves ____________ across ______
    eastward, japan
  • Since wind moves from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area, the cold wind over China moves eastward across Japan and reaches the Philippines from a __________ direction.
    northeasterly
  • . Before it reaches the Philippines, it passes by the Pacific Ocean to gather a great amount of ________.
    Moisture
  • Southwest Monsoon or
    Hanging Habagat
  • Southwest Monsoon or Hanging Habagat (months)
    July to September
  • this prevailing wind blows.
    Southwest Monsoon or Hanging Habagat
  • If it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, what does Northern Hemisphere experience?
    summer
  • Thus, the wind over the Southern Hemisphere (Australia) moves toward the _______.
    north
  • the wind blowing toward the Philippines during the rest of year when the monsoons are weak.
    trade winds
  • This wind is coming from the east.
    Trade winds
  • Another factor that affects the climate of a place is the amount of ________ it receives.
    rainfall
