Key point: heat moves from the hotter equator to colder poles via air and water systems. ( also, time stamps are below :)) • Aand thanks for watching guys! I hope you found it useful- if you didn't understand anything or just want clarification let me know- I'll try to explain it a bit better! • And this information is specifically for the edexcel GCSE board, but the content is pretty similar across the boards, so this might still help! • Timestamps: • 0:00 - Intro • 00:17 - What is global atmospheric circulation? • 00:30 - Why is it needed? • 01:01 - Why are some places hotter and others cooler? • 01:28 - a) Distribution area • 02:14 - b) Amount of atmosphere • 02:46 - How does the Earth correct the heat budget? • 03:27 - a) Atmospheric circulation cells • 04:20 - Convection currents • 05:02 - What happens in areas of low pressure/rising air? • 06:12 - Low pressure habitats • 05:42 - Low pressure • 07:10 - High pressure • 07:23 - What happens in areas of high pressure/sinking air? • 08:08 - High pressure habitats • 09:24 - Things to remember • 10:30 - b) Ocean currents • 11:00 - How heat is distributed from EQ to poles • 12:28 - Wrapping up • 12:40 - Last thing: climate change impact Qs! • 13:08 - See ya! • • ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ • Hi guys! Just to let you know, I'm Sia, a first year A level student studying maths, geog and chem, and this channel is basically to help if you're confused about any topics, specifically geography related, but chemistry questions are welcome to. Let me know if there's a specific topic you'd like me to explain, but otherwise, I hope you find the videos helpful!! :))
