Advancing toward the pole the air begins about 30 degrees north and also the south latitudes. Most of the global patterns of atmospheric heating and circulation comes from a shift in heating of the surfaces and the precipitation. The atmosphere shifts cold air from

alternative to the gasoline that our vehicles run off. When going to gas pumps, one will notice that much of the gasoline is up to 10 percent of ethanol.

There are many different ways in which heat is tranferred from the equator to the poles. one of which is a single circulation that air moves from the tropics to the poles and back. This such circulation model was proposed originally in the 1700's. Hadley who proposed such states that low latitiude air moves towards the equator and then it heat up. During this movement the temperature rises as well as the air rises vertically and moves the poles wards into the upper atmosphere, this is known as Hadley
