What is a pressure gradient and how is it related to air movement?
Pressure gradient is the rate of pressure change as you change position, not just the difference between the lowest pressure and the highest pressure, but how great (or small) the physical distance between them. Since it the pressure difference that make air flow (wind) the greater the pressure gradient, the greater the wind.
When air exerts a force it is called?
-- Pressure -- Wind
Everyday example of air has pressure?
creation of wind
How wind is generated?
Movement of air, which naturally goes from a higher pressure to a lower pressure.
What is rapidly moving air caused by differences in pressure?
wind
How dos wind start?
Wind happens when there is a change in pressure in the atmosphere which causes air to rush to the lower pressure area, thus causing wind.

The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure?
Wind. or cold to warm lol
Which direction does wind and air pressure travel?
Wind is balancing of atmospheric pressure, the movement of air is in high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
What are four things that a front brings?
1.A change in temperature2.Storms and precipitation3.A change in wind direction4.A change in air pressure
What are other weather characteristics that change other than air pressure and temperature?
cloudes and wind !!
How air pressure affects the motion of wind?
the air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, this movement of the air is called "wind".
What is the source of energy for the wind?
Moving air is called wind & it is caused due to change in temperature ,density & pressure . Like - air moves from a area of low temperature to high temperature , from area of high pressure & density to area of low pressure & density. Now this air is called as 'wind' . So one can say that wind get energy from varying temperatures .
What is the energy source for wind?

How does pressure affect the direction of wind flow?
Wind is a cousin to the pressure. Pressure moves the wind.
What is the connections between air pressure and wind?
The relationship between air pressure and windis that air from areas of higher pressure flow to areas of lower pressure, creating wind.
What has a bigger effect on wind speed temperature or air pressure?
The bigger affect on wind speed is air pressure.
