What are air currents? They are like rivers of wind caused by areas of high and low pressure. The air above the land is warmer and less dense, so it rises. The air over the water is cooler and heavier. The cool air rushes in toward the low-pressure zone over the land, forming a lovely sea breeze. But what about jet streams? This episode is all about the wind. Part of the "Crash Course Kids Earth Science" series.
