Which statement correctly defines wind?

The movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

The movement of air from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure

The movement of air to a colder area in the atmosphere.

The movement of air pushed around and bouncing off Earth's surface.

The Coriolis effect causes ___________.

global winds to move in a curved path instead of a straight line

the Earth to rotate on its axis

the Earth to revolve around the sun

What is the primary cause of global winds?

The uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun

The gravitational pull of the moon

The presence of large bodies of water

Which of the following best describes local winds?

Winds that blow over short distances and are influenced by local geography

Winds that blow steadily from specific directions over long distances

Winds that are caused by the Earth's rotation

Winds that occur only at the equator

How does the Coriolis effect influence global winds?

It deflects their path to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere

It causes them to blow in a straight line from the poles to the equator

It has no effect on global winds

It causes them to blow in a circular pattern around the equator

What is a sea breeze and when does it typically occur?

A wind that blows from the sea to the land during the day

A wind that blows from the land to the sea during the night

A wind that blows from the mountains to the valleys during the day
