wes D

Before this activity i didnt know much about global winds but this activity shows us that depending on which way the earth rotates the objects on the earth will move different ways. We took an index card and cut it in two different directions and twisted them opposite ways and that showed the line in which objects would move on the earths surface, indicating how water currents, and wind currents would move. This activity taught me to understand the way the winds will move depending on the way the earth moves. I know now that if the earth is turning clockwise then the wind will move counterclockwise and vise versa.

This activity doesbt really rlate to my topic because my topic is greenhouse effect and that has to do with the warming of the earth and this has to do with the global winds and what direction they move.
