The rotation of the Earth affects the way the wind blows. See what our planet's wind patterns would look like with & without rotation with our Global Wind Patterns paper model! Learn more here: buff.ly/XtHAmQY

Our Global Wind Patterns paper model shows how wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth by the Sun. Look at what the winds would look like if the Earth didn't rotate then see how rotation affects the wind! Learn more here: buff.ly/sFdfXNA

Mars’ Wind Patterns Are Breaking the Rules – And Scientists Finally Know Why New research shows that Mars’ atmosphere behaves differently from Earth’s, with gravity waves, rather than Rossby waves, playing a dominant role. This discovery challenges existing models and may...

Black and white image of a Martian crater with dark streaks extending both inside and outside its rim. These streaks are caused by Martian dust devils, swirling columns of wind that pick up loose dust, creating trails across the surface. The image highlights the active geological processes occurring on Mars.

Tree shape prevailing wind behavior. Tree shapes often reveal the prevailing wind direction in an area. Trees on windward sides tend to have slanted or curved trunks and branches, adapting to the pressure. Nature’s way of responding to the elements!
