    • 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
