Global and Local Winds in Canada

Canada's latitude coordinates are 45º to 60º N and its longitude coordinates are 75º to 105º  W. Canada is located in the Northern Hemisphere, but more in the western part of the hemisphere. The Ferrell Cell is the atmospheric cell that my county is a part of, because of the 30º to 60º indicator. My country of Canada resides in the wind belt of the prevailing westerlies. The wind that Canada receives comes from the West. My country isn't located near a main pressure belt because of its 45º latitude and 75º longitude. This location doesn't put Canada near a significant pressure belt.

Canada's latitude and longitude coordinates place it into the Ferrell cell. Since Canada is at the borderline requirement of the Ferrell the weather is quite colder because its farther away from the equator and closer to the polar cell. Canada is often associated with cold weather and snow, but most of the time has 4 distinct seasons. The winds in Canada are usually cold and dry
