📝 Quick summary of key information

Which winds push the clouds above the oceans?

The trade winds are winds that blow regularly in some parts of the world. They are like faithful friends that push clouds over the oceans.

These winds mainly blow near the equator, which is in the middle of the Earth, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. They come from areas of high pressure and move toward areas of low pressure.

Trade winds are very important for clouds. They gently push them, making them travel over the oceans. Because of them, clouds can move and bring rain where it is needed.

Besides clouds, trade winds carry boats and birds. Sailors use these winds to sail, and birds follow them to travel long distances.

After exploring the mysteries of the swirling‎ (1) mountains, Zéphir and Brisa, a clever and adventurous wind and a gentle and mischievous breeze, set off on new adventures. They discovered how the icy‎ (2) peaks amplify the wind, creating strong gusts‎ (3) that shape the landscapes. As they crossed the peaks, they learned that the nature of the mountains influences the strength of the winds, a well-kept secret of the weather‎ (4). Now, they fly towards the Ocean of the Trade Winds, ready to discover how the winds push the clouds above the oceans.

Zéphir, amazed, shouts:
« Look Brisa, the ocean sparkles under the sun. »

« It's wonderful. The waves shine like diamonds. »

Zéphir, with a cheeky smile, says:
« The trade winds blow strongly here. They push the clouds towards the continents. »

Brisa, amazed, adds: « Birds that travel long distances‎ (5) use these winds. They fly without getting tired. »
