The winds generated out at sea, sweep inland across the continents.
風在外海形成,侵入大陸席卷內陸地區
As they travel across the Sahara, they create the biggest of all sand storms
它們穿越撒哈拉沙漠時,造成了世界上最大的沙塵暴
blowing sand halfway round the world to fertilize the Amazon jungle.
沙子被吹到地球的另一頭,亞馬遜叢林因此而變得肥沃
Winds blowing across the Indian Ocean
風掠過整個印度洋
collect moisture and sweep northwards towards the Himalayas.
一邊收集水氣,一邊撲向北方的喜瑪拉雅山脈
As the air rises, so it cools.
隨著氣流的上升,溫度也逐漸下降
The water it carries condenses into clouds
攜帶的水氣開始凝結,匯集成云
and then falls as the life giving rains of the monsoon.
然后變成季風雨落到地面,滋潤大地萬物
So air currents powered by the sun, carry wet air to the middle of continents.
至此,由太陽驅動的大氣環流,將潮濕空氣帶到了大陸中部。
