  1. 2. house effect the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface
  2. 3. effect an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems
  3. 6. the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles
  4. 7. energy Thermal energy is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object. The faster these particles move, the more heat is generated
  5. 9. currents A current in a fluid that results from convection
  6. 10. winds ind is the horizontal movement of air. All wind is caused by the uneven heating of Earth's surface, which sets convection currents in motion. Convection currents on a large scale cause global winds; convection currents on a small scale cause local winds.
  7. 12. breeze a breeze blowing toward the land from the sea

  1. 1. violet radiation Ultraviolet (UV) is an electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm (30 PHz) to 400 nm (750 THz), shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays. UV radiation is present in sunlight
  2. 2. winds Global wind patterns: Winds are named by the direction from which they blow. The globe is encircled by six major wind belts, three in each hemisphere. From pole to equator, they are the polar easterlies, the westerlies, and the trade winds
  3. 4. the process in which electromagnetic radiation or particles are deflected or diffused
  4. 5. the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction
  5. 8. an instrument for measuring the speed of the wind, or of any current of gas
  6. 11. breeze A breeze blowing toward the sea from the land
