What is rapidly moving air caused by differences in pressure?
wind
What is the vertical movement of air currents due to temperature variations?
Air currents may be caused by differences in temperature, pressure, or impurity concentration. Temperature differences can cause air currents because warmer air is less dense than cooler air, causing the warmer air to appear "lighter." Thus, if the warm air is under the cool air, air currents will form as they exchange places.
What does differential heating cause?
Differential heating causes wind because the air over one surface being warmer than the air over another results in different air pressures. Wind is caused by air moving from a high pressure system to a low pressure system. This requires differences in air pressure, which is caused by differential heating.
How are the density and temperature of air related?
Higher temperature air is less dense.Less-Dense air has a higher temperature
Explain what causes wind?
Wind is caused by a variety of factors, some of which are: Changes in air temperature, Changes in the altitude of the land beneath bodies of air, The turning of the earth, and the friction this causes between the land and the air.
What air currents caused by temperature differences?
Wind
What do you call the flow in a air loop caused by differences temperature and pressure?
It is called a convection.
What is a 4 letter word meaning air currents caused by temperature differences?
wind
What are high altitude winds caused by temperature differences between air masses?
Jet Stream
What causes differences in air temperature?
What mainly causes temperature differences is the spherical nature of the Earth, which causes unequal heating.
Strong winds are primarily caused by?
The air pressure differences result mostly from the uneven heating of earth's surface.
What is the flow of air in a loop caused by differences in temperature and pressure called?
It's called wind.
What are the forces that affect the horizontal movement of air?
The forces that affect the horizontal movement of air are gravity and air pressure. Wind is caused by the differences in air mass temperature.
Would there still be winds if the earth's surface where the same temperature everywhere?
These 2 sentences will help answer your question: Differences in air pressure are generally caused by the unequal heating of the earth. The definition of wind is the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure. Therefore, no, there would not be wind.
What is Windand what causes it?
Movement of air is caused by temperature or pressure differences and is ... This is due to the rotation of the Earth beneath the moving air, the natural perceptable movement of it is called wind
What movement of the air caused by differences in air pressure?
wind
How is extreme wind caused?
Its caused ok differences in air pressure
