wind currents

 

 

Energy from the sun and the water cycle play significant roles in the weather conditions and temperatures of our environment. Heating and cooling affect water and wind currents. These along with the characteristics of the atmosphere surrounding the Earth affect weather and climate worldwide. Exploration of these aspects of our weather are encouraged through the information and activities below.
