Air masses have unequal or different temperatures because of the kind of material that compose the Earth's surface, angle of sun's rays, which is due to the shape of the Earth, and the length of daytime, which is due to the tilting of the earth's axis as it revolves around the sun.

When did a cyclone hit Streator Illinois?
No, Streator, Illinois was hit by a tornado, which is different from a cyclone.
How often do tsunamis hit different countries?
Not very often but when they do they are very devastating.
Do doldrums have high pressure or low pressure?
The doldrums have low pressure. They have low pressure because the sun's rays hit the doldrums most directly because it is located near/on the equator. Since the sun's rays hit the doldrums, the air is warm. The warm air rises, bringing lowpressure.
Where did the Indian Ocean tsunami hit?
The Indian Ocean tsunami hit south east Asia and also Africa.IndiaSri LankaBangladeshMyanmarThailandMalaysiaIndonesiaIt started near Indonesia
Why is air warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator?
Because of the Earths shape and the way the Earth is tilting towards the sun.
Why do 2 objects of different masses dropped from the same height hit the ground at the same time?
Most likely because they're the same weight. Objects can have completely different masses and have the same weight.
What happens when two objects with different masses are dropped under the same gravitational conditions?
They'll both hit the ground at the same time.
A feather and a book are dropped in a vacuum which will hit the ground first?
BookAnswerIf you drop two objects of different mass, then they will fall at the same speed & rate. On Earth, the air will slow the fall of the paper due to air loads, so the book would hit the ground first. On the Moon, there is no or very little air, so they would both hit the ground at the same time.
A cricket ball and football are dropped simultaneously from the top of Qutub Minar then what happens?
They would hit the ground at the same time, Galileo dropped to balls with different masses and they both hit the ground at the exact same time.
Why was Aristotle wrong?
Aristotle thought that when you drop 2 things with different masses that the heavier one would hit the ground first. Galileo proved him wrong by rolling two balls of different masses down an incline plane and timing them using a clock. He found that the mass of an object does not affect how quickly it accelerates due to gravity.
What month do largemouth bass spawn in Oklahoma?
When water temps hit 60 degrees f, usually in April.
What would happen if a space tornado hit Earth?
Nothing at all. There is no such thing as a "space tornado". Tornadoes are whirling AIR masses, and there's no air in space. But if you are referering to a wormhole or a black hole then the Earth would probably get sent through the wormhole to the phonomenom's destination.
Was there a different game that the Aztec played?
no they mostly played a game of ball where they hit the ball 27 feet into the air and the thing that they hit it in is normally a snake or a monkey
What did Galileo discover when he dropped two cannon balls of different weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
In around 1590 Galileo Galilei climbed up the Leaning Tower of Pisa and dropped some balls to the ground. Two balls of different masses, but of similar shape and density that were released together hit the ground at the same time. Until then it was commonly believed that heavy things fall faster than light things. Galileo's discovery is important in understanding how parachutes work. They fall slowly through the air because of friction.
A 75 kg person and a 200 kg crate are each parachuted to earth from a plane which will hit the ground first?
With parachutes and air resistance in the mix, the heavier object probably hits the ground first. If they were simply released from altitude and fell freely, without parachutes or air resistance, then they hit the ground at the same time, no matter how their masses or weights compare.
If two objects with one having significantly more mass than the other are released in a vacuum tube at the same time which would travel faster under the force of gravity?
In the absence of air resistance, with motion produced only by the force of gravity,all masses fall with the same acceleration.After any time interval, all masses have the same speed, and all masses hit the groundat the same time.A feather, a helium balloon, a bowling ball, you name it. In a vacuum, they all fall 'like rocks',and hit bottom at the same time.
Why does bricks falls faster than cotton of equal masses?
That only happens when they fall through air. The reason is the friction of the respective bodies plowing through the amount of air that each is in contact with. In the absence of air, bricks and cotton would accelerate at the same rate, reach the same speed at the same time, and hit bottom together.
