It expands, rises, and becomes less dense.

Does winds form because Earth's surface is heated unevenly by the sun?
Yes, winds form primarily because the Earth's surface is heated unevenly by the sun. This uneven heating causes differences in air pressure; warmer areas have lower pressure while cooler areas have higher pressure. Air moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas, resulting in wind. Additionally, factors like the Earth's rotation and geographical features also influence wind patterns.
Where is earth heated directly?
The areas around the equator are the areas of the earth that are usually heated directly. Areas around the equator usually experience almost same number of days and night.
Wind is generated in response to?
Wind is generated in response to the uneven heating of Earth's atmosphere by the sun. As air is heated, it expands and rises, creating areas of low pressure. Wind then moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas to balance out these pressure differences, resulting in the flow of air that we feel as wind.
Which are the earthquake affected areas in kolkata?
All the area is shortly affected by a earth quake
How does air move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure?
Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure due to the pressure difference created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface. This pressure difference causes air to flow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas, creating wind.
Do you see areas of low pressure or high pressure order earth's poles?
north
How important is the sun to your planet earth?
Without sun earth will freeze and it will be impossible to live on earth. Earth will be so cold.
How can pressure differences in Earth's atmosphere contribute to winds?
Pressure differences in Earth's atmosphere create areas of high and low pressure. Air flows from high pressure to low pressure, creating wind. The greater the pressure difference between two areas, the stronger the resulting winds will be.
Where on earth do you find high pressure areas?
all in trenches
What is Water that is heated underground and comes to the surface of the earth with no build up of pressure creates a?
Hot spring
What explains the change in direction of air movement from daytime to night?
During the day, the surface of the Earth is heated by the sun, causing air to rise and creating low pressure. At night, the surface cools off, creating high pressure. This shift in pressure gradients causes the direction of air movement to change as air flows from high pressure to low pressure areas.
Why does air rise in the Earth's atmosphere?
Air rises in the Earth's atmosphere because of differences in temperature and pressure. When air near the surface is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, creating areas of lower pressure. Cooler, denser air then moves in to fill the void, creating a cycle of rising and sinking air known as convection.
