The document discusses different types of winds, their causes, and myths from Greek and Roman mythology about weather gods. It explains that wind is caused by differences in atmospheric pressure and temperature that create pressure differences. Winds are grouped into local/regional persistent winds, global persistent winds, and episodic winds like cyclones and hurricanes. It also describes the Coriolis effect which causes trade winds to veer from their north-south course due to the Earth's rotation. Tornadoes are mentioned as a type of cyclonic wind with great destructive power.
3. WINDS
What makes wind blow ?
and why does it blow first this way ?
that now weak, now strong ?
the answer is uneven atmospheric pressure. Because there are
always differences in the temperature of the atmosphere, there
also pressure differences, and these differences naturally seek
to balance them selves. And then the wind is carried messages
about future weather
4. WINDS
Winds are grouped into three categories.
Lokal and Regional persistent wind (sea breeze and
land breeze, the mountain* and the valley wind)
global persistent(orographic winds), and
maverick or episodic wind (like cyclone and
anticyclone, tornado, and hurricane)
*thermal slopes wind
5. Myth about Wind
In the Greek and Roman mhytology, The gods of sky and
weather were named "Theoi Ouranioi" or "Theoi Meteoroi"
by the Greeks. They were under the command of Zeus and
Hera, the king and queen of heaven

7. Coriolis Force
The trade wind would blow directly from north to south in the
northen hemisphere, and the opposite way in southern
hemisphere. But the spin west to east will making them veer
of their strictly north-south course. Its called coriolis force( the
force that making a change of axis wind)
EARTH ROTATION !
8. THE WILDS WIND
It happend because the clash of 2 current wind with
their different temperature and humidities. They called
cycloon or anticycloon. Or we know them as well as
Hurricane or Typhoon.
HOW ABOUT TORNADO ?
Tornado is a kind of cycloon wind. But it have very high
power to broken all form of life. Tornado, always appear
and happened in United States. The Tornado always
associated with the Thunderstorms, green lightning flickers
weirdly over the land, and dark clouds glow strangely
green and yellow.
