How does the friction between the ground and molecules in the air affect wind?

Well, it all depends on the air density and how it would affect it. The denser the air, the more it'd affect the wind. same as air pressure. :)

∙ 14y agoan area of high air pressure means there is a lot of air there, that air will move to a low pressure area to 'even' itself out, this moving air is wind.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIf there were NO friction between moving air and Earth's surface, air would flow in a straight line from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure :)

For computer answer A+ air near the earth's surface blows more slowly.

What is the minimum rate of flow at which a stream of water can maintain the transportation of 1.0 centimeters in diameter?
You would have to know the weight or density of the pebbles, the coefficient of friction on the pebble's surface and the coefficient of friction on the ground.
How long do molecules of ground water stay in the ground?
Anywhere from days to thousands of years
Fog is an example of?
Fog is a low lying cloud. Instead of being up in the sky, it is down on the ground. Several water molecules have joined together. While two water water molecules joined together are slightly heaver than the surrounding nitrogen molecules, they are not heavy enough to fall down to the ground. Instead, they are knocked around by Brownian motion. That keeps them airborne. If two molecules get together, they fall to the ground. Thus mist exists within a fog and a fog provides some water to plants. When the sun comes out, the water molecules separate or evaporate and the fog dissipates.
Why is there space between particles?
Yes there are empty spaces between molecules of water. Water forms "bonds" between each molecule in the liquid space. I say "bonds" because they are not the covalent bonds or ionic bonds you may be use to. They are hydrogen bonds that form because each end of the water molecule has a certain charge. The oxygen atom takes on a very strong negative charge while the hydrogens are much more positive. The attraction between them causes them to come really close but they do not bond exactly. So yes there is space between molecules. And since all atoms are 99.99999% empty your glass of water is actually almost empty in terms of space!!! The 99.999999% empty space referred to above is INSIDE the individual atoms, not between them. Yes there are spaces between water molecules, this can be shown by measuring the volume of water in a glass. Then measure the volume of some sugar. Dissolve the sugar in the water and measure the volume of the mixture, it will not be the sum of the separate volumes.
Difference between contaminant adsorption and absorption in saturated ground water?
Contaminant adsorption is the variety of contaminants in the environment. Absorption in saturated ground water is the process that is used to get rid of pollution from groundwater.
How dies the friction between the ground and molecules in the air affect wind?
The wind at the surface of the ground where the molecules are having friction is moving slower than the wind above the surface.
How does friction between the ground and molecules in the air affect winds near the earhts surface?
Air in the upper atmosphere speeds up.
How does friction between the ground and the molecules in the air affect winds near the earths surface?
Wind at the surface is slower than the "winds aloft" The biggest effect is within a few inches of the ground.
The friction between the ground and molecules in the air cause the wind to be what?
it will be slower near the surface
How does friction between the ground and molecules in the air affect winds near earths surface?
Wind at the surface is slower than the "winds aloft" The biggest effect is within a few inches of the ground.
How does inertia affect karate?
Friction is important in any movement. If you did not have friction between your feet and the ground, when you hit someone, you would slide away from them. Friction allows you to use the ground as a base to project power into your opponent.
How does friction between the ground and molecules in the air affect winds near the earths surface?
Wind at the surface is slower than the "winds aloft" The biggest effect is within a few inches of the ground.
Why do tires have less friction when it rains?
Because the water on the ground acts like an oil diminishing the grip. And when the ground is wet the water molecules resides between the ground and tires so, the tire is not in total contact with the ground.
How does friction affect the movement of a scooter?
there could be friction inside the motor. there is friction on the wheels of the scooter and the ground. there is air friction when you move on a scooter.
Does snow increase friction between your shoes and the ground?
Snow decreases the friction between your shoes and ground. That's why cars slide in the winter.
Does friction affect your life?
Yes, because with out friction everything and/or every one would be slipping on the ground.
How does friction affect motoin?
Friction is what causes an object to stop. Friction is cause by having and ridgy type ground forcing the object to stop.
