Global and Local Winds in Mexico

Location and Global Winds

Mexico is located on the geographic coordinates of 19.0000 N latitude and 102.3667 W longitude of North America. Since the Plant is divided into four Hemispheres; Northern Hemisphere, Western Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, and the Eastern Hemisphere, Mexico is located in the Northern and the Western Hemisphere. According to the three atmospheric cells, Mexico resides on the Hadley Cell, where the trade winds occur. The trade winds blow from East to West. Mexico is located near the High Pressure belt; N and S, called the "Horse Latitude".

Based on my basic research of Mexico, Mexico has mountains. The largest, highest, and was formerly a volcano mountain in Mexico is the El Pixo de Orizaba. The five types of breezes or winds associated with the mountains in Mexico are the Mountain and Valley Breezes, Land and Sea Breezes, and the Katabatic Winds. For Mexico, they can feel Mountain, Valley, Land, and Sea Breezes. Mexico has a pacific coast and coastline on the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Sea breeze and mountain breeze is usually associated with the coastlines. People can usually experience the Sea breeze during the day.
