Air moves across the Earth in large systems called global winds. These winds form regular patterns because of how the Earth spins and how the Sun heats different parts of the planet. These patterns are not random. They follow set directions and spee...

Global winds follow regular patterns based on latitude. These winds move around the Earth and are called prevailing winds because they usually blow in the same direction within the same region.

These winds carry air masses, which affect the weather in different parts of the world. For example, winds that blow from the ocean carry warm, moi...
