Document Summary
An ice age land bridge once connected britain w/ europe broke off and makes. Sailors would be depressed getting lost out in the itcz. Winds are named from the direction in which they are coming from. Moves across the tropics (north to south and south to north) throughout the seasons. Warm water moves from tropics to poles. Weakening of hadley cell and trade winds.

An increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other. The effect causes the sudden change in pitch noticeable in a passing siren, as well as the redshift seen by astronomers.
