Climate happens between earths atmosphere and ocean.This is where energy is exchanged This is where great amount of water evaporate into the air or fall back as rain warm air around the equator rises and goes north towards the pole in the northern hemisphere. we live at the bottom of an ocean of air. Air is made of nitrogen.oxygen, carbon dioxide,water vapor and many other different molecules and atoms on a gaseous state.Air pressure is the force per unit area applied on a surface by the weight of the air above the surface .altitude affects air pressure.Air pressure changes when the air itself is heated or cooled.Wind is the horizontal movement of air from a high pressure area to a low pressure area.To understand the effects of winds on …show more content…

Global winds get on the waters surface making it to move and build up in the direction that the wind is blowing.if the earth did not rotate and remained still the atmosphere would move between poles and the equators.because the earth rotates at its own axis moving air is moved to the right in the northern hemisphere the deflection is called coriolis effect.Because the earth rotates circulating air is moved instead of moving in a straight form the air moves to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left into the southern hemisphere so the paths change to curved paths.Upwelling is the movement of cold it also supports a lot of marine organisms.Surface ocean currents move in a regular pattern but they are not all the same. They can be deep and thin or they could be short and wide.if a fisher knows where the upwelling currents is it could be a very good benefit for him because there are many fishes.Atmospheric circulation and the Coriolis effect make global wind patterns like the trade winds and westerlies.The trade winds have that name because between europe and the americas ships have taken advantage of them to make better journies.The layers of water move slower depending on how deep the layer is if the layer is to deep the layer will move slow and if it is not to deep it will move faster.The currents are measured by having someone to observe an object that floats and a watch or a timing device.But the method that is
