Uneven heating causes uneven temperatures (typically, not always). This means air molecules exert different pressures (remember, temperature is a measure of how fast molecules move randomly) at different locations. It is the difference in pressures that drive the winds (as well as the Coriolis force due to Earth's spin).

∙ 8y agoThe unequal heating of the Earth causes convection currents in the atmosphere. Warm air rises and cool air sinks causes the air molecules to circulate and create wind.

What does wind result from?
Wind can result from a number of atmospheric events. The man cause of wind if the uneven heating and cooling of the earths surface due to the atmosphere, sun, and ocean.
How does unequal heating and cooling of the earth's surface cause severe weather events like tornadoes and hurricanes?
Uneven heating and cooling causes differences in air pressure. To maintain equal pressure, a breeze picks up. These winds can be a strong as a tornado or just a gentle breeze.
How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
due to volcanics effects and movement of earth which affect the earth surface
What is the primary cause of air mass?
Uneven heating of earth's surface
What cause earth topography to change?
topography of earths surface changes because of the turbulence of water.In which this turbulence causes the formation of a new topographic sketch in earths surface.
What is the root cause in weather changes?
The ROOT cause of ALL weather is unequal heating of the earth's surface.
How does unequal heating and cooling of earth surface cause severe weather?
because it is cooling
What does the unequal heating of earths surface cause?
It causes wind, with help from the moon's gravitational pull it causes ocean currents and it also helps with the seasons and weather.Windsconvection currentsUnequal heating of the earth's surface results in wind. That is what happens, if that's your question.

Will effects of unequal heating of land and water cause a tornado?
No. The unequal heating will produce breezes, and perhaps clouds and rain, but much more is required to produce a tornado.
Unequal heating within a small area cause what kinds of winds?
A backdrift
What is the main cause in temperature change in the atmosphere?
this happens because of the unequal heating
How do clouds cause uneven heating of the Earth's surface?
When the clouds are in front of the sun, they block off the sun to the earth witch causes uneven heating -your best friend and no-it-all annwiki
What are local winds?
Local winds are winds that blow over short distances caused by unequal heating of the earths surface in a small area.
What property of magam cause it to rise towaed earths surface?
What property of magam cause it to rise towaed earths surface?
How does unequal heating of earth affect the movement of air masses?
Unequal heating cause air masses to form fronts. Fronts are masses that contain air that is all the same temperature and at the same altitude.
What does wind result from?
Wind can result from a number of atmospheric events. The man cause of wind if the uneven heating and cooling of the earths surface due to the atmosphere, sun, and ocean.
