Title: Describe how heat, pressure, and the Earth's rotation interact to affect global wind patterns.
Course: Aerospace Technology I (21055-I) > Section: Exploring Flight Conditions

Description should include how

- solar heating causes the air to circulate in the atmosphere, which causes changes in pressure that make the air move over the earth
- air movement, coupled with the earth’s rotation, creates wind patterns that affect all aircraft operations.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is convection, and how does it make the air move in certain directions?
- What is the jet stream, and how does it affect flight planning?
- What three factors combine to create wind?
- What is the Coriolis effect, and how does it affect flight?
