This video will explain how atmospheric circulation and global wind patterns affect the movement of air on the earth.

Delve into the fascinating world of ocean currents, from surface flows influenced by wind patterns to deep currents driven by water density. Learn about the crucial role of currents in regulating global climate and distributing...

Dive into the science of ocean currents (including the Global Conveyor Belt current), and find out how climate change affects them. -- In 1992, a cargo ship carrying bath toys got caught in a storm. Shipping containers washed...

This video provides an introduction to El Nino and La Nina, two climate patterns in the Pacific Ocean. It explains how these patterns occur, their impacts on global weather patterns, and discusses whether 2021 and 2022 are El Nino or La...

Warming ocean water is weakening a major current system called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which helps regulate global weather. Melting ice in Greenland and freshwater from rivers are making the ocean less...

Climate is the average type of weather that a region has. It is defined by temperature and moisture. Proximity to oceans and large mountain ranges defines climate too, depending upon the prevailing wind. While climates change over...

This video explores the daily condition of the Earth's atmosphere. The factors that influence the atmosphere and cause weather are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the global processes that generate weather patterns. Other...

The monsoon is a seasonal rain and wind pattern that occurs over South Asia (among other places). Through NASA satellites and models we can see the monsoon patterns like never before. Monsoon rains provide important...

Water is the fundamental ingredient for life on Earth. Looking at our Earth from space, with its vast and deep ocean, it appears as though there is an abundance of water for our use. However, only a small portion of Earth's water...

El Niño is a recurring climate pattern characterized by warmer than usual ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. Two back-to-back 3-D visualizations track the changes in ocean temperatures and currents, respectively,...

The monsoon is a seasonal rain and wind pattern that occurs over South Asia (among other places). Through NASA satellites and models we can see the monsoon patterns like never before. Monsoon rains provide important reservoirs of water...

Science Kids Birds and Bird Migration V1-0003

Birds migrate along specific flyways, with some following wind patterns while others rely on landmarks. Songbirds like the black pole warbler use tailwinds in spring to reach their...

The legendary El Niño effect causes dramatic shifts of weather, resulting in droughts and floods across the globe. It can all be traced to winds dying down over the Pacific ocean. Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. El Niño is a...

Hurricanes form when warm humid air rises from the ocean. Convergent winds force the warm air into the atmosphere, where it releases latent heat as it condenses into clouds and rain. The exchange of the heat from the surface creates a...

Climate is the average type of weather that a region has. It is defined by temperature and moisture. Proximity to oceans and large mountain ranges defines climate too, depending upon the prevailing wind. While climates change over...

This video discusses hurricanes and clouds, explaining the characteristics and formation of hurricanes, as well as why clouds float and how they are made up of water droplets. It highlights the dangers of hurricanes, the importance of...

In the United States, there are two different groups of hurricane hunters that fly into tropical storms and hurricanes to gather weather data. They use different planes and fly different patterns, but they all collect data in tropical...

Monsoons are more than torrential rains. They come in wet and dry varieties, but both involve a lot of wind. And it turns out, those winds can help the Earth clean up some of the pollution mess humanity makes.

This video provides a visual explanation of how the climate and precipitation patterns are influenced by the geography of the California coast and the Sierra Nevada mountains. It highlights the role of the Pacific Ocean in providing...

How can you see the atmosphere? By tracking what is carried on the wind. Tiny aerosol particles such as smoke, dust, and sea salt are transported across the globe, making visible weather patterns and other normally...

In this SciShow Kids episode, Jessi and Squeaks learn about amazing places where it almost never rains. <br/>
