The answer is convection currents: the upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air.

∙ 8y agoWhere the air is over a parts of the Earth's Surface that is warm, the air warms. Warm air rises and as it rises it is replaced by cooler air that is sucked in from parts of the Earth's surface which are comparatively cooler. This movement causes a cyclic circulation of the air called win and weather.

Caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere?
Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere. When an area has warmer air than surrounding areas, the air rises which creates a region of low pressure. The areas around it have higher pressure, and therefore air moves from there to the low pressure area. The movement of this air is called wind.
Earth's surface is heated unevenly what is the effect?
The uneven heating of surfaces results in cooler air meeting warmer air which, in turn, creates wind. Various climates and environmental conditions are also caused by this action.
What air movement of air that causes the winds?
The movement revolves around the Low Pressure System. At the center of a Low, air rises. That air descends in High Pressure Systems, that exist wherever Lows do not. This means that the Low Pressure System is the active feature of the [lower 10 km's of the] Atmosphere.
The process in which compounds are converted to oxides by heating them in the air is called?
roasting
What is wind made out of?
A wind is created when there is a pressure difference between two places. Most commonly caused by the sun heating the land, and hot air rising. Thus drawing cooler air in from the coastline, to replace it. When the ocean surface is slightly warmed, some of the water will escape as water vapour, and as this is lighter than air, it rises. This is the cause of cyclones.
What causes air movement?
Air movement is caused by uneven heating of Earth's surface
What is the link between the uneven heating of the earth's surface and air movement?
Wind
What is the link between the uneven heating of Earths surface and air movement?
Wind

The areas around it have higher pressure, and therefore air moves from there to the low pressure area. The movement of this air is called wind.
How do uneven heating produce wind?
Differences in air temperature - creates air currents, as cold air moves to replace warm air (which rises). The movement of the air is what we feel as wind.
How does the sun cause the movement of the air?
Due to uneven heating of the earth, the pressure in some places will go down.So,in order to make this up,air from other areas rushes to this place.So, we can feel the movement of air.
What does the uneven heating of the air cause it to do?
The primary effect of heating a gas is lowering the density of the gas, making it lighter. Uneven heating of gas creates local density gradients, which will drive bulk movement of the gas via natural convection to get rid of the local density gradients.
What is large masses of air caused by uneven heating between the equator and the poles called?
Poop poo
What is most of heating in the troposphere comes from the movement of air called?
it is called radiation
How are air masses related to the uneven heating of earth's surface?
When the sun heats water as opposed to land, the air rises more over land. If near a shoreline when the air rises over land, the space near the surface is replaced by the air from over the sea, resulting in a horizontal movement of air called wind or a sea breeze.
How does uneven heating of earth's cause winds to flow?
the uneven heating of earth's surface causes pressure differences which set air in motion
What is the main cause of earth winds?
Heat ! The sun warms the air, which rises... Cold air flows into the 'void' to fill it - it's the movement of the air that creates the wind.
