Which way the wind blows

This week we did four different assignments. One assignment we took a flashlight and we put it on a globe and pretended it was the sun to exemplify the equator and why it gets so hot. Next we did the lab with the globe again, where one person spun the ball and the other person takes the expo marker and makes the line strait in a diagonal line down the ball, to make it look like Coriolis effect. Next we took colored pencils and made the globe mapped out with trade winds, hadley winds, and the ITCZ, and the equator. We did another project where we plotted points on the map to make it show us where the hurricanes are located and developed. These different labs and acitivites helped to learn a lot of different types of wind and how it affects the earth and other things.
