How does atmospheric pressure distribute energy around the globe?

Changes in pressure cause wind to blow. This facilitates some energy transfer through the atmosphere through eddy propagation, for example, this also facilitates the movement of air masses and cyclones across latitudes.

What is atmospheric discharge?
An atmospheric pressure discharge is an electrical discharge in air at atmospheric pressure.An electrical discharge is a plasma, which is an ionized gas. Plasmas are sustained if there is a continuous source of energy to maintain the required degree of ionization and overcome the recombination events that lead to extinction of the discharge. Recombination events are proportional to collisions between molecules and thus to the pressure of the gas. Atmospheric discharges are thus difficult to maintain as they require a large amount of energy.Typical atmospheric discharges are:DC arcLightningAtmospheric Pressure Glow Discharge (APGD)Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD)love.....razor
How does atmosheric pressure distribute energy around the globe?
On a global scale there are four major air pressure zones. There's the equatorial low, the subtropical hights, the subpolar lows, and the polar hights.together they carry air back and forth between the equator and the poles and between earths atmosphere and it's surface
Which force causes atmospheric pressure?
Just as water pressure is caused by the weight of water, atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air. Pg. 126 Conceptual Physical Science 4th Edition.
What factors determine the intensity of air pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point. It is defined as the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface. The average atmospheric pressure, at sea level, is about 1 atmosphere (atm) = 101325 pascals, or 101.3 kPa (kilopascals). Don't say intensity of air pressure. Say strength of air pressure, because intensity is an "energy quantity" and pressure is a "field quantity. Our eardrums are moved only by the sound pressure. Scroll down to related links "Conversion of sound units (levels)".
What is the source of the energy that powers the Earth's hydrologic and atmospheric system?
The sun.
Does air possess potential energy?
Compressed air does, but not air at normal atmospheric pressure
Methods in liquifying gases?
Atmospheric gases can be liquefied by (i) increasing atmospheric pressure ; and (ii) decreasing temperature. By increasing pressure particles of the gas get compressed. Decreasing temperature reduces kinetic energy.
What determines the physical form in which water exists?
Atmospheric pressure, energy level, polymorphs, isotopes, and alot of other factors.
How does solar energy gives rise to winds?
Solar energy consists of various waves on the electromagnetic spectrum. When these waves hits the earth, it will reflect as infrared waves, aka heat. And this heat will warm up the air, which gives difference to air densities, which changes the atmospheric pressure. And when there is an atmospheric pressure difference, air will move from area of high pressure to low pressure, thus creating wind.
Physical state of substances properties and behavior at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure?
The physical state of a substance in relation to its properties and behavior at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure will simply be the lowest energy state for the substance. This is the state that the substance can't help but go back to, unless energy is put in to do otherwise.

Is heat an example of air matter energy or pressure?
this is a copy from yahoo answers but totaly correct When heat energy is added to a gas, the velocity of the gas molecules increases (greater kinetic energy of motion). The gas molecules collide with the walls of the container with more force and bounce off which results in a net force (or pressure) on the container walls. Unless the container volume is enlarged as the gas is heated the pressure of the gas must increase

Is boiling water mechanicl or heat or light or chemical or electrical or nuclear energy?
Boiling of water is caused when we provide heat energy to water which then converts into mechanical energy when the water molecules gets excited and results in escaping the surface forming vapor pressure equal to atmospheric pressure leading to boiling.
What is the engine that drives atmospheric circulation?
The engine that drives atmospheric circulation is the sun - which provides the energy for the circulation.
Does water boil at a lower level above sea level?
First understand that the boiling of water occurs when the energy of water molecules is equal to the vapour pressure... (i.e energy of water is equal to the external pressure due to the atmosphere)... above sea level the atmospheric pressure is lower hence low energy is required... hence water boil at low temperature...
