Is a sandstorm and sudden or gradual change?
This wind is usually caused by convection currents (which are created by intense heating of the ground), and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes. Air is unstable when heated, and this instability in the air will cause the mixture of higher winds in the troposphere with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds.
How does the energy of motion affect the deposition of sand and dust by sandstorms and dust storms?
This wind is usually caused by convection currents (which are created by intense heating of the ground), and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes. Air is unstable when heated, and this instability in the air will cause the mixture of higher winds in the troposphere with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds.
How does air move in a anticyclone and how does this effect the weather?
The air in anticyclones moves out from the center, cool air moves downward from higher in the troposphere. Anticyclone generally causes dry, clear weather.
What happens to the air pressure when you move from the troposphere to the stratosphere?
air pressure decreases
When the pressure in hurricane gets lower or higher what does the wind do?
The lower the barometric pressure is in a hurricane, the stronger the wind will be. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water and the lower the pressure is, the more moisture that will be attracted from the water. This warm moisture rises up and forms into clouds and wind, so the more moisture is rising, the stronger the winds will be. If the barometric pressure is high, the moisture can't move up and form clouds and wind.
Why does sandstorms occur?
This wind is usually caused by convection currents (which are created by intense heating of the ground), and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes. Air is unstable when heated, and this instability in the air will cause the mixture of higher winds in the troposphere with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds.
What causes sediment that is picked up by the wind to fall to the ground?
This wind is usually caused by convection currents and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes. Air is unstable when heated, and this instability in the air will cause the mixture of higher winds in the troposphere with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds.

What caused Spanish trading ships heading west across the Pacific Ocean to move more quickly than ships heading east?
because the west winds were stronger then the east winds.
Wind moves from areas of high temp to low temp?
Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally. Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally.
How is heat mostly moved through the troposphere?
Convection currents move heat throughout the troposphere.
How do winds tend to move?
Winds tend to move from opposite the directions that seagulls fly. Because seagulls tend to fly from low pressure cells to areas with higher atmospheric pressure, the direction of the wind generally flows against the flow of seagulls.
What winds move west to east?
West winds.
How do hurricanes travel across Africa and moves toward the US and where does it get its strength to travel so far?
Hurricanes get their energy from warm water. Being in the tropics, they get stronger and stronger as more winds and warm waters help them move across the ocean.
How does air move in a anticyclone and how does this effect the weather?
The air in anticyclones moves out from the center, cool air moves downward from higher in the troposphere. Anticyclone generally causes dry, clear weather.
When do sandstorms hapen?
This wind is usually caused by convection currents is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes. Air is unstable when heated, and this instability in the air will cause the mixture of higher winds in the troposphere with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds. Sandstorms can interfere with travel, and sometimes obliterates entire roads, and dry, flat regions, such as parts of the western United Sates. In Kuwait, the month of April is known as 'sandstorm month'. Sandstorms that come from Northern Africa and drift across Europe are called 'Sahara Sand Storms'.
