General Circulation, Trade Winds, and Monsoons – Geography Presentation

This presentation (30 slides) explores the Earth’s general circulation patterns, focusing on the key atmospheric movements that influence global weather systems. It explains the concept of the general circulation, which refers to the large-scale movement of air in the atmosphere, driven by the sun’s heating and the Earth’s rotation. The presentation also covers the trade winds, which blow from east to west near the equator, and their impact on tropical weather patterns, ocean currents, and sailing routes. Additionally, it delves into monsoons, the seasonal winds that bring heavy rains to regions such as South Asia, and their significant effect on agriculture, economy, and daily life. The presentation uses diagrams and case studies to show how these atmospheric systems shape regional climates and weather patterns.
