Question

Where on Earth’s surface might you be if you are experiencing the trade winds? Explain how air pressure, temperature, and the Coriolis effect influence the movement and direction of these winds.

Answer 1

At the area around the equator, air gets very hot due to the sunshine. It goes up and has to flow away from the equator. [ At that time the air has the speed of a point on the equator: 40000km/24h. When it flows to higher latitudes, it thus has more speed than a point there: because a parallel at, say 40
degrees has a much smaller circumference than 40000km, its speed is also smaller, because it still takes 24 hours to get round.

Answer 2

thank you
