warmed, it expands, and, becoming lighter, is shoved upward 

 by the air flowing in from all directions to take its place. This 

 produces the winds, and no matter what kind of winds they 

 may be, they are all produced in the same way.

All general breezes of the earth are caused by the air of the 

 equator being hotter than the air at the poles. These breezes, 

 or winds, are called terrestrial winds, and are divided into 

 four classes, starting from the equator, the doldrums, the 

 trades, the prevailing westerlies, and the circumpolar whirls. 

 There are local breezes called the sea breeze and land breeze, 

 the day breeze and the night breeze, the mountain breeze 

 and the valley breeze; but they are all based upon the same 

 principle. The land and sea breezes may be taken as ex- 

 amples for explanation. 



In the daytime the land becomes warm faster than the 

 ocean, because the land is opaque and stops the energy of the
