What causes the most differences in air pressure?
differential heating
Is differential heating related to season?
yes because of the temprature xx
What drives convection in Earth's atmosphere and oceans?
Uneven heating of the Earths atmosphere and oceans by the sun
What drives convection within earths atmosphere?
Uneven heating of the Earths atmosphere and oceans by the sun
What distinct wind patterns on Earth's surface are created by the Coriolis effect and what?
differences in heating
What cause global wind pattern?
se
Can uneven heating of air in earth's atmosphere cause convection to occur?
yes
How is movement in wind produced?
Short answer: Differential heating of the atmosphere by the Sun causes air masses to move.
What do patterns of heating and cooling in the atmosphere result in?
Ocean currents. This could also apply to wind currents.
How does differential heating affect pressure?
Differential heating creates high-and-low-pressure areas, creating wind.
Do winds need sun energy?
Yes. One of the factors behind the wind is differential heating of the earth's surface, which results in convection currents in the atmosphere.
How does differential heating affect air pressure?
Differential heating creates high-and-low-pressure areas, creating wind.
Transfer of heat energy around the Earth from uneven heating of its surface is accomplished by blank air blank pattern?
Transfer of heat energy around the Earth from uneven heating of its surface is accomplished by Global air circulation patterns,
What causes the most differences in air pressure?
differential heating
Is radiation heating something up?
no it is not heating up the atmosphere
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.
Is differential heating related to season?
yes because of the temprature xx
