wind – air that moves horizontally
convection cell – a pattern of rising and falling air, sinking air, and winds caused by unequal heating and cooling of the air

Coriolis effect – no matter which way the wind blows, it will always pull toward the right in the northern
hemisphere, and to the left in southern hemisphere.

anemometer - an instrument that measures wind SPEED
barometer - an instrument that measures air pressure
low pressure system- a weather system that usually brings rainy
weather.
high pressure system – a weather system that brings fair weather.
