The observations thus made have shown that the principal air-currents of the globe are found to be moving in contrary directions along the different zones; the winds of the torrid zone moving generally with the sun, to wards the west,' while the winds of the temperate zones generally move in an opposite direction, towards the east.In order to explain the cause of these great prevailing movements of the air, various theories have been published; not only to show Why such air-currents prevail, but also to point out their effect on the waters of the sea, as well as on the climate of different countries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
