🔍 Key Concepts

• global wind patterns and what drives them • how Earth’s rotation affects moving air (Coriolis effect in simple terms) • how terrain and temperature differences can change or channel air flow

💭 Think About

• Which of these choices could realistically influence how air moves on a global or local scale? Think about both large-scale winds and local wind patterns. • Do mountains have any effect on wind direction or speed where they’re located? How about temperature differences between warm and cold regions? • Is there more than one correct factor listed, and if so, what does that suggest about the best choice?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you understand that warm air rises and cold air sinks, forming convection currents. • Recall that Earth’s rotation changes the direction of moving air, not whether air moves at all. • Consider whether landforms like mountain ranges can block, deflect, or funnel winds, even if they don’t create global circulation by themselves.
