Atmospheric circulation - everything you need to know for GCSE Geography

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!

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!! :))

Thank you so much for this video! It was really well explained, I really understand this concept now! Please could you make mode videos coastal landscapes for example? 💗

Hi, thank you so much this is really helpful.😭 But does the red arrow means hot air? Why is the hot arrow sinking down? Does that means like hot air sinks? I’m sorry if this sounds complicated😅😢

[yay-jn]

Hi, this was really helpful but i have a question. How does hot air rise at 60 degrees latitude if it’s meant to be cold?

[polyakther]

Hi, this is really helpful thank you, why don't you make any more videos?
