What causes Earth’s major wind patterns?

Large global wind systems are created by the uneven heating of the Earth’s surface. Unequal heating of the Earth’s surface also forms large global wind patterns. In area near the equator, the sun is almost directly overhead for most of the year. Warm air rises at the equator and moves toward the poles.

What causes the prevailing winds?

Prevailing winds are winds that blow consistently in a given direction over a particular region on Earth. Due to factors such as uneven heating from the Sun and the Earth’s rotation, these winds vary at different latitudes on Earth.৪ জানু, ২০১৯

What wind speed means?

Faster than 10 m/s (22 mph)	Uncomfortable

Can Planes fly in strong winds?

Strong winds are responsible for most turbulence which you’ll experience during a flight, but commercial aircraft are built strong enough to withstand conditions far worse than they could ever expect to encounter. At the same time, as much as pilots prefer to take off and land into wind, it’s not always possible.৬ অক্টোবর, ২০১৯
