WIND CURRENTS ARE GENERATED DUE TO UNEVEN
HEATING ON THE EARTH

UNEVEN HEATING BETWEEN THE EQUATOR AND THE POLES
• Regions close to the equator get maximum heat from the Sun.
• The air in these regions gets warm.
• The warm air rises, and the cooler air from the regions in the 0–30 degrees latitude
belt on either side of the equator moves in.
• These winds blow from the north and the south towards the equator.
• At the poles, the air is colder than that at latitudes about 60 degrees.
• The warm air at these latitudes rises up and the cold wind from the polar regions
rushes in, to take its place.
• In this way, wind circulation is set up from the poles to the warmer latitudes,

UNEVEN HEATING OF LAND AND WATER
• In summer, near the equator the land warms up
faster and most of the time the temperature of the
land is higher than that of water in the oceans.
•The air over the land gets heated and rises.
•This causes the winds to flow from the oceans
towards the land.
•These are monsoon winds

IN WINTER, THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND FLOW GETS REVERSED; IT FLOWS FROM THE LAND TO THE
OCEAN

THUNDERSTORM

•Thunderstorms develop in hot, humid tropical areas like India very frequently.
•The rising temperatures produce strong upward rising winds.
•These winds carry water droplets upwards, where they freeze, and fall down again.
•The swift movement of the falling water droplets along with the rising air create lightning and sound.
• It is this event that we call a thunderstorm
