Answer 2

What are Planetary winds?

Planetary or permanent winds blow from high pressure belts to low pressure belts in the same direction throughout the year.

They blow over vast area of continents and oceans.

They are easterly and westerlies and polar easterlies.

Planetary winds blow in the same direction throughout the year, while the other types of winds get modified due to certain reasons.

The pattern of the movement of the planetary winds is called the general circulation of the atmosphere. The general circulation of the atmosphere also sets in motion the ocean water circulation which influences the earth’s climate.

Pattern of planetary winds largely depends on:

Latitudinal variation of atmospheric heating.

Emergence of pressure belts.

The migration of belts following apparent path of the sun.

The distribution of continents and oceans.

The rotation of earth
