1) How does wind typically move according to pressure?

2) How does air arculate around high and low pressure centers?

3) How do the winds (easterlies/westerlies) get their names? .)

Why do winds (trade winds, etc.) move the way they do across Earth. 5)

What prevailing winds bring most of our weather directly impacting us in NYC?

6) Describe specific heat and how that causes land and sea breezes.​

Answer: 1. Ok so wind moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. And the bigger the difference between the pressures, the faster the air will move from the high to the low pressure. And so basicly thats the wind we experience. 2. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. Swirling in the opposite direction from a low pressure system, the winds of a high pressure system rotate clockwise north of the equator and counterclockwise south of the equator. 3. these names of these name come from their origin; the westerlies run west to east while other winds run east to west. 4. Because Earth rotates as the air is moving, the winds in the Northern Hemisphere curve to the right and air in the Southern Hemisphere curves to the left. 5. its caused by the north. 6. Land and sea breezes are referred to as direct thermal circulations. During the day the land, which has a low specific heat and is a poor conductor, heats much more quickly than water.

Explanation: Hope it helps :)
