Global Winds Diagram Review online exercise for - Free Printable

To solve this problem, we need to label the cells, pressure belts, and winds in the diagram using the provided word bank. Let's break it down step by step:

Word Bank:

- Ferrel
- Hadley
- High
- Low
- NE Trade
- Polar
- Polar Easterlies
- Prevailing Westerlies
- SE Winds

Key Concepts:

1. Global Wind Patterns: These are driven by differences in air pressure and temperature across the Earth.
2. Cells: The Earth's atmosphere is divided into three major circulation cells:
- Hadley Cell: Near the equator (0° latitude).
- Ferrel Cell: Mid-latitudes (around 30°–60° latitude).
- Polar Cell: Near the poles (around 60°–90° latitude).

3. Pressure Belts:
- High Pressure: Found at the equator (Intertropical Convergence Zone) and at around 30° latitude.
- Low Pressure: Found at around 60° latitude.

4. Winds:
- NE Trade Winds: Blow from the northeast toward the equator.
- SE Trade Winds: Blow from the southeast toward the equator.
- Prevailing Westerlies: Blow from the west toward the east in mid-latitudes.
- Polar Easterlies: Blow from the east toward the poles.

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### 1. Labeling the Cells:
- Top Cell (near 60°–90°): This is the Polar Cell.
- Middle Cell (near 30°–60°): This is the Ferrel Cell.
- Bottom Cell (near 0°–30°): This is the Hadley Cell.

#### 2. Labeling the Pressure Belts:
- At 0° latitude (Equator): This is the Low Pressure belt (Intertropical Convergence Zone).
- At 30° latitude: This is the High Pressure belt.
- At 60° latitude: This is the Low Pressure belt.

#### 3. Labeling the Winds:
- Between 0° and 30° latitude (northern hemisphere): These are the NE Trade Winds.
- Between 0° and 30° latitude (southern hemisphere): These are the SE Trade Winds.
- Between 30° and 60° latitude (both hemispheres): These are the Prevailing Westerlies.
- Between 60° and 90° latitude (both hemispheres): These are the Polar Easterlies.

Final Labels:

- Top Cell: Polar
- Middle Cell: Ferrel
- Bottom Cell: Hadley
- Pressure at 0°: Low
- Pressure at 30°: High
- Pressure at 60°: Low
- Winds between 0° and 30° (northern hemisphere): NE Trade
- Winds between 0° and 30° (southern hemisphere): SE Winds
- Winds between 30° and 60° (both hemispheres): Prevailing Westerlies
- Winds between 60° and 90° (both hemispheres): Polar Easterlies
