The Impact of Global Wind Patterns on Climate and Ecosystems

They only affect the flight of kites.

They determine the location of rainforests and deserts.

They are irrelevant to climate.

They have no impact on species survival.

The Earth is flat.

The equator is closer to the sun.

The poles are covered in ice.

Sunlight hits the equator directly, while it skims the poles.

It moves directly to the poles.

It rises and cools, forming clouds and rain.

It sinks to the ground.

It remains stagnant.

A circular pattern of air movement caused by temperature differences.

A stationary air mass over the poles.

A type of wind pattern that moves east to west.

A type of cloud formation.

It creates a clockwise pattern in the northern hemisphere.

It stops air movement completely.

It causes air to move in a straight line.

It has no effect.

Cells that form between the equator and 30-degree latitude.

Cells that form between 30 and 60-degree latitude.

Convection cells near the poles.

Cells that form only over oceans.

Winds that move from north to south.

Winds that move from west to east.

Winds that move from east to west.

Winds that move from south to north.

They have no effect on biomes.

They only affect ocean currents.

They distribute heat and moisture, influencing biome distribution.

They cause biomes to disappear.

In areas of high pressure where cool, dry air sinks.

In areas of low pressure where hot, moist air rises.

Only at the poles.

Only at the equator.

They are regions of high precipitation and rainforest growth.

They are regions of high desert formation.

They are regions of constant drought.

They have no significant impact on climate.
